So here the law and opinions from those who are trained to deal with this question rather than people trained in other mediums.
The law #1
The law #2
The lawyers Opinion
And yet another opinion. From another lawyer
The law in the US is clear, webmasters are publishers they must have the documents.
If, and it is a big if, the police call asking for the IDs of a girl, you want to go to a filing cabinet and produce them. Not say, ?Well the I bought them from this guy on the net and he says he has them and will show them if I ask for them.? You may find your one phone call not enough to trace him.
Should he have an accident, die of a heart attack, like Henry from FlyCats did two weeks ago. You do not want to be chasing the executors of his estate. Or if you just fallout with him, you going to ask him for a favour?
Should the girls brother, father, boyfriend, grandfather, neighbour, etc. come across her pictures and go straight to a lawyer. You will want the model release to stick under his nose and show him this little girl was paid for the work.
You want to protect the girl?s anonymity? Don?t take or publish pictures of her in the nude.
All my sets come with FULL documentation. I blank out the models contact details.
Your call it?s your ass that is in the firing line.

This is so full of holes that I do not know where to begin. All I will say is that I am referring to actualy U.S. Law and nothing else. I think it is a good comforting factor to give copies of ID to my clients and that is why I intend to start doing it.
Hey bro...I thought you were daed?
