Long before 2257 we were asking models for IDs and making copies of them and filing the documents for a rainy day. 2257 doesn't do anything any self-respecting photographer didn't do before. It only adds to the paperwork by requiring things are filed the way they want them to be filed.

Good recording keeping and business practice is important to us. 2257 has nothing to do with this.

That said, Paul, I read your post as the site lists you as custodian. That's an interesting legal dilemma for you, and I'd be talking to a lawyer about it, rather than posting threads about how producers should be happy that the federal government is telling them to do something we've been doing for decades without their help.
