Then it stops here. Just because some of you roll over and take it in the ass anytime someone asks you to, doesn't mean we all have to. They need to check the IDs the same manner in which everyone else does. I don't know why that is so hard for some people to understand. WHY do I have a place of business, where my records are kept, where I pay someone to sit there during normal business hours, in case someone wants to inspect those records, and have Epoch pop up and void all of that, and want me to send them via email. That's just not gonna fly.

It's called having a backbone. Something most people around here have never heard of.

3 - they did not ask for her Social## - but documentaion. ID with blacked out name and data (exept birthdate) have worked in every single case for me.
4 - if you dont want to provide the documentation, then that is your choise. You take your content off, or take your business somewhere else.

I didn't say I wouldn't give it to them. I said they have to get it in the same manner everyone else does, and with someone from law enforcement.

No, I plan for the worst, as I don't know the person who I would be emailing these IDs to. Why would I foolishly assume he is 100% OK or not OK? I can't. Neither can you, neither can Epoch. Maybe he is OK, maybe he is not, but for sure he has not had a thorough background check and is not associated with law enforcement. Why is it safe with an totally unknown person simply because someone else from a porn company says it is? Use your head for once.
Also, it's not all about safety. That is part of it, but it's not the entire issue. I have a serious problem with them acting above the law. What's good enough for the FBI should be good enough for a porn 3rd party billing company. The fact that it is not, is what's so damn scary.
Though, let me ask you, have you ever had one of your models stalked or raped from a site member who tracked her down? And what are the odds of that happening, as it does happen? Why couldn't someone from INSIDE the industry do the same? Chances are it wouldn't happen, but that 1% chance is more than I'm willing to take.
