Same with credit card companies, insurance companies, doctors, pretty much anyone you give copies of ID to these days is forced to give you a copy of thier privacy policy. So I can't see how a court would let anyone with $30 buy some pics and get a models private information. Forget stalking Identity theft is now the #1 crime in America. Having your ID info availible to anyone with the money to buy a pic set seems a little wrong.
But then again, as I said, I'm not a lawyer.

Sixty-two commenters commented that revealing personal information
of performers, for example, in the form of their addresses on drivers'
licenses used as identification documents in compliance with this
regulation, is an invasion of performers' privacy and could lead to
identity theft or violent crimes. Forty commenters commented that
including the names and addresses of businesses where the records at
issue are located would similarly lead to crimes against those
businesses. The Department declines to adopt these comments.
While the
Department is certainly concerned about possible crimes against
performers and businesses that employ them, the necessity of
maintaining these records to ensure that children are not exploited
outweighs these concerns.
