A porn actress must provide documentation to ensure she is not a minor, thus making sure there is no child exploitation occurring, a serious crime.
An affiliate promoting the (above) over-18 actress doesn't expose the industry to the same risk as she does, therefore his requirements are not the same.
That is one example of nuance in industry relationships and partners, and there are many others.

"Nuance" or not - different roles or not - there are some exact corollaries. Such as: identity. That's a basic one. If a porn actress, program owner, affiliate, or customer cannot provide proof of identity it is fraud, end of story.
Here is what I learned long, long ago: instead of trying to beat a system by being a rebel and NOT having basic life stuff together (driver's license, bank account, SSN# etc) is foolish and only hurts you. Instead, decide if you want to play in that system and, if so, then do the dance and provide the info. If not, like the OP has decided apparently, then simply do not play in that system. Bitching about it is a waste of time. Trying to change the system? It can be done but requires a fuck lot more work than posting on an Industry board.
