When I license out a shoot the licensee gets copies of everything I obtained to satisfy 2257. Front and back scan of the ID with models name blurred... scan of the model release again with the models real name blurred. When buying content from another producer it is easiest to refer back to the original shooter. Look at 2257 carefully and you will see that as a non producer, you are not nearly as liable as the actual producer is.
The reason I blur the models real names is because there is always the possibility that an over-obsessed fan (read cyber-stalker) is trying to get her real name for harassment purposes and thinks by going as far as licensing a shoot from me will give him access to that information. I have been around long enough to see the damage done by leaks like that. Hell, I even remember when one of my competitors (Filipina porn site) fucked up and actually released an uncensored scan of the front and back of the models ID as part of the photo shoot! Ooops. Then the first site I started out with I was shooting for went and proved to me on several occasions they could not be trusted by breaking the confidentiality agreement and printing my name all over the web after I told them I was not interested in shooting for them anymore... lessons like these have taught me well.
