So you do not need to go back and contact people you photographed 5 years ago for example to be in compliance.
Partly correct. I read the regulations as meaning that you will need to update the records of models you photographed previously and use again.

On another note, I agree with Tom_PM and a couple of others. While I understand the concern for models' privacy and proprietary information, I'm not going to run the risk of being a test case to find out whether the courts will buy into the concept of protected records. Nor do I want to have no way to know until the feds are there and I have (hopefully) retrieved an unlock code, whether the records are actually complete.

That apart, there is no way that Brandon's system, even if it were to become the most popular and the best, will be the only one. The task of conforming with these new regulations is bad enough. The prospect of attempting to cross reference partial records within different systems turns it into a nightmare.

I have domains that have been registered for years. I have been buying content since 1996. Etc. Is it really too much to expect content producers to provide me with the records that by law I shall be required to have, in a straightforward manner so that I can cross-reference them as required and have them available for inspection without depending on a third party?

Given what is at stake, I don't believe that is an unreasonable expectation.
