I admit it's an odd situation. I'm wondering why DirectNic is so concerned about this.

well... the turd above you is confused and the fact of the matter is that "2257" should have never been used in any of these conversations because they were simply asking for proof of age of the models in question - pic/date of birth on an official ID.
it seems logical to me that asking for the info has absolutely nothing to do with federal privacy law from DirectNIC's standpoint... giving that info out is where you would most likely get into trouble. i can ask you to land your helicopter on the white house lawn. ... you can choose to do it. i won't be the one getting gang raped in the prison shower that evening.
as far as i know... US privacy laws have zero to do with foreign citizens. if you were from the UK and i demanded the ID's with all personally identifiable info of your neighbors and you gave it to me, it would be you that gets in trouble in the UK for breaking UK laws... not me for asking for it in the US.
