For model ID's actually kept on hand and the databasing of all URL's, that's very easy stuff.

I agree.. and the proposed solution of using DRM to wrap the model ID, doesn't mean contacting different content producers.. it's the same DRM server each time.... and their inquiry is more specific to models that seem underaged.
It would be the best for a webmaster to have the actual model ID (w/o blackened marks)... and for some exlcusive content producers like AaronM, they could do this, because they would be bound by a confidentiality agreement not to use or reveal the model ID name, address, etc.
The problem is that content producers who widely license their images out can't just provide the unblackened ID and hope that webmasters will follow the agreement. What about some content that is allowed to be distributed (ie. "free content").
There are much more complications.
If you shoot your own content for your own website and you had your own CMS, then yes, this is simple.
The reality of the situation is webmasters have done a poor job in record keeping, and content producers are not going to hand over unblackened ID.
There are a limited number of options left:
1) content producer hands over the unblackened ID so that their azz is protected, but then the model's are exposed.
2) wait for a lawsuit to propel to the supreme court to get the record holding for secondary producers thrown out, while 2257 prosecutions are going on.
3) find some industry standard to follow that can be presented to DOJ as correcting them in their processes and showing them that compliance can happen.
All 3 options are underway, and i am working on #3 as way of trying to do something in the right direction.
