You can't transfer the model release to anyone. The model release was created between the model and the author/producer. Authorship can't be transfered. You can only issue a license to the content you created - this way you can sell exclusive rights to other parties.

The model release contains information and signature of the author. At least in my case. So even if someone provided the model release to other parties, how does the new "owner" prove the author details and signature in the release belong to him? He would have to fake his own ID.

Sorry dude, that is a total bullshit.
