They aren't going to be looking for themodels. They are checking to see if YOU have the proper paperwork. If your paperwork says she's 18 then that's it. You still don't get it. They know porn models are over 18. They are hoping to bust webmasters for non-compliance. And thus scaring the rest out of business.

3. All this time hunting down webmasters for silly paperwork, could be spent actually hunting down those who do child porn.
Or terrorists

4. Some webmasters may go underground. No I do not mean doing child porn, but simply not paying tax and moving the sites outside the USA and changing the details so when you do a whois, it gives a non USA address. OK, its still possible to trace it back to the USA webmaster, but much harder. And so less tax will be paid too.
Most US webmastera r part time guys that make less $1000 a month. They aren't going to move out of the US. The bigger guys are complying and are not going to take your retraded advice.

5. Some models may not want to model anymore, as they will not want the thought of years later when they have given up modelling, to have a nice chap knock on there door, asking her husband if the porn star is in, to check her details.
Man you are stupid. Did you even read the regs. The feds are not going to go after models. And trust me if a girl did porn and if hubby finds out it won't be because of some US federal agent.

6. Its going to be unfair in business if non USA webmasters can get away with stuff USA webmasters cannot.
Non-US webmaster are going to be in for a bit of a shock if they think they can simply get away with non-compliance if they still sell their stuff to the US market. That's assuming the DOJ even gets serious and actually checks for compliance.
