I like to have the model IDs so I can both prove to myself that the girl is of age *and* so that I can trust the content provider.
Just because they have put 2257 info on their site doesn't mean they follow the law - they might just be doing it to look more lawful.
Now before you say that's their problem, not mine, because they are the primary producers... think of the repercussions to me and my business if I suddenly found out that my content wasn't legal.
It *would* present a problem to me because then I'd have illegal content on my sites that I paid money for, and I'd have to take it down. Now I don't know about you, but I use my content as much as possible, and that would mean a LOT of work hunting the different sites down and changing things out, plus risking getting banned because something had changed (think TGP gallery where if anything changes after submissin or acceptance, you're banned for life).
That *would* be my problem, and it would cost me a lot of lost time (money), it would cost me content that I had paid for (money), and it would cost me a lot of extra work (money).
So no, by the LAW, I don't need to see the model IDs.
But as a businesswoman who plans to be here for a while, it puts my business on much more stable ground when I know that this content is legal and I don't have to worry about having to go into panic mode one day ripping my sites apart and costing myself money.
Make sense?

To me perfect sense, but to so many here it does not. |
