Let's say "Bob" sells content to "John". John puts this content on line, and Attorney General with a stick up their ass decides to go after John.
- If John doesn't have this information, he's in trouble. And he's going to point fingers at Bob who sold him the content. Since John doesn't have this information he can get his ass pulled into court.... And Bob might be pulled in too.
- If John has this information on hand, there is no problem and no one ends up in court.
Also, what if the content provider goes under? How does someone who purchases the content prove a model's age when the content producer is gone, out of the business, dead, or whatever.
I'd want a copy of the model's license and model release form, this way I can defend myself in the future.

This is what I'm worried about. If the producer with the records goes out of business, then what? I'm supposed to take all my stuff down because I don't have the copies of the records and there is no longer a person in business with the records?
