That's bull. The DOJ isn't asking for the model's home address or phone #. They want a picture ID with a birthdate on it. I guess Canadians stores break the law all the time when their customers use checks and they ask for ID. I mean since the same model would be giving her real name, birthdate, address and phone number to some pimply faced 16 year old cashier. Not to mention her checking account # is on the checks too. Anyways good luck losing American sales which is probally the bulk of their business.

They are working on a solution but this is where I'm told it stands ATM.

What solution? Either they are willing to give up the info or they aren't. There isn't a middle ground. If an American gets inspected by the DOJ, telling them "My Canadian content provider refuses to break Canadian law by giving me the info you require. And they also said for me to tell you FUCK AMERICA AND YOUR LAWS YOU DON'T OWN US" isn't going to cut it. That American is going to jail.
