To those advertising that their docs comply with the new regs: Do you include all the assumed names, aliases, maiden names and nicknames with the compliance info, as required by the new regs?

Uh...New regs? Those are the requirements of the current regs. If you are going to ask questions about the new regs then perhaps you could start by sticking with the new stuff rather than asking about the old.
From my recent discussions with multiple content providers and clients it has been mentioned that most of them are not familiar enough with the current laws to have included that in the first place. Nice huh?

Of course. But only with regard to what the law requires, not what a clients thinks the law says based on the inaccurate ramblings of others who don't have clue one WTF they are talking about.

No, the model release is no bodies business other than the model and myself. There is no current or proposed law or regulation that requires a release in the first place. You would have to be a fool not to get a signed release but again, no law says there has to be one and therefore there is no law that says I am required to give one to my clients.

My content business will continue to focus on all of my clients. Their location is not any concern of mine as long as their local laws do not conflict with what they are doing...And that's on them, not me.

That depends on how the final regulations come out. If I am allowed to then yes, it will be removed. If not then no.

I will be sharing that information with other content providers as I see fit. That does not include a public forum at this time.
