The new regs specifically say the documents may not be sanitized...

I'm not a content provider, so it's not my place to suggest how you deal with the specific practical and ethical issues which apply to you. The only thing I would say for those who want to wait and see is to remember that these regulations are in force from June 23, notwithstanding any injunctions that may postpone prosecutions and perhaps even inspections. But since copies of changed pages along with the relevant records have to be kept for a period of 5-7 years, unless any challenges are ultimately successful in overthrowing the regulations or changing them, any of your customers who are not compliant from day one may eventually find themselves in a lot of trouble.

That should be an ethical issue for you and it is certainly a marketing issue. There are content providers who already have their models signing privacy waivers or finding other ways to deal with this situation. So unless you want to be selling only to non-US customers or to dummies who choose to ignore the new regulations, like it or not you need to find a way through.
