If the USA government was really concerned about protecting children, all it needs to do is state that any models working in the USA must register there details with a government model agency.
They would then get a model ID card, with a model ID number on it.
This would then be handed to the photographer (along with other model ID). This could be checked with ease by a simply call to the agency.
Thus the onus would be on the model to prove her age rather than the webmaster or photographer.
Lets be honest, how hard would it be for a dishonest webmaster to fake some if not all the models IDs at the moment? Unless the FBI or whoever is going to spend its time tracing each model to confirm there details, its going to be a real pain.
From an outsider, the new law is just nonsense. There are going to be lots of loopholes. One which I have said is that some webmasters will just say all models were shot in 1980, and were shot in (for example) Spain. it will then be such a pain to prove otherwise that its going to cost a lot of money, and time.
if I was a tax payer in the USA I would be mad as hell to think that money is wasted in such a silly way.
