Law is pretty straight forward if you produce the material you need to have the documents required on hand for production requests from the D.O.J. this means a valid address they can submit the requests to. The address needs to be an employee of the company. We keep our original documents on-file with an attorney on retainer, a copy is kept with our Chicago office that answer production requests. To this day we have had only 1 request and that was from a model's attorney who was attempting to milk us for more royalties but once the notorized copy of the model release was sent to the attorney we never heard back from them guess it is hard to fight a rock solid contract releasing all copyrights to the images. What the point is not only is the "age verification" documents important but also a model release!
If you purchase content you need to list the address for each provider you purchase from on a page that the D.O.J. can send requests to. How they figure out which images are to which producer is beyond me.
