This article kind of confused me as the actual new rules from MC don't make any mention of requiring a new format of releases and IDs. The actual rules—dare I say it—aren’t too hard to comply with if you operate your own site (even if you’re not even shooting, but just licensing from various companies). In fact, I think most paysites that operate properly have already been in compliance from the get-go.
What the article is referring to I believe is something some of the platforms are doing to lots of negative fanfare to go the extra mile covering their butts. If you're a content creator, this should serve as a big warning sign to stop relying heavily on these types of sites and just bite the bullet and open your own paysite. The barrier to entry has never been lower, but the farther you get from the card processing networks, the more unexpected hurdles you may need to deal with getting money and staying compliant.
