Firstly, the guy who we bought content from (he's here on GFY) provided us with model passport images of the models holding up their passports. Is this sufficient? There's also a "2257 compliance form" included that's signed by each model.

Furthermore, the guy who officially runs the site is in Australia, and our host is in Canada, wherefore I assume we don't actually have to comply to the 2257 law - we've decided to do so anyway, though. With this in mind, however, do we need to post our name and address on the site? Right now, we've made a 2257 link where we're asking people with inquiries to contact us through e-mail. Is this OK?

I appreciate any answers!
Of course you don't have to comply with the law, it's a US law. It's probably a good idea to comply though since the US has the tendency of going in and shutting down websites it doesn't like

Might be a good idea to actually read through the requirements too. It's pretty cut and dry.
