My 2257 software programmer attended the FSC seminar in SD yesterday and he said the lawyers there on the panel for the FSC have told producers they must specifically have clauses in their model releases informing the models that their photo id information may be transferred to DOJ investigators for the purposes of performing an official government investigation.
The lawyer also suggested that the model release inform the model that the information could be passed on to secondary producers and that they could absolutely consult with an attorney to get their model release forms updated.
There was mention of model release forms being available on the FSC web site that would conform to the new 2257 regs and protect primary producers from this kind of litigation. The lawyers also stated there could be differences in state or other jurisdictions, which is why it is necessary to have an attorney who is LOCAL to your place of business consult with you regarding the model release, BEFORE you start using it. You can't go on the assumption that just because a producer in CA uses a particular model release that the same release would be legal in NY or FL or any other state.
The attorneys also suggested that if you decide to distribute model identification information to your affiliates, that you enter into a legally binding contract, which would then give you legal recourse, between you and your affiliate specifically outlining the terms of the release of photo id information and precluding the affiliate from using that information in ANY way OTHER than that of 2257 compliance.
My programmer suggested that while this might be useful, he thought requiring the affiliates to put up a cash bond for the information would have more muscle than just a contract. The thought of an affiliate losing money for violating the agreement seems to have more teeth. I'm not advocating this position, just tossing it out there. You guys can do what you want.
My programmer is a pretty sharp guy and
