Any legit platform will be requiring releases and 2257/IDs. If they arent they could lose their Mastercard billing. We wont know how Mastercard will handle these issues until they or the processors start doing audits after October 15th.
For too many years the simple requirement that secondary producers also maintain copies of the records has been overlooked. It is what allowed UGC tubes to flourish.
Unfortunately, the FSC litigation against 2257 didnt address secondary producer issues (though there was an indication in that case that secondary producers needing to have the records was unconstitutional) and they were never resolved.
So as we sit here, secondary producers are required to maintained records.
Mastercard may not require it but if an account doesnt have them, the platform risks losing billing.
What platform is going to take that risk?
Dont want to give up your docs, thats easy - dont submit to platforms and instead maintain your own sites. You get to keep all the documents and IDs offline and protected.
