in theory this would cover your ass.. but the problem still remains, widespread distribution of the id is no good! identify theft, stalking, etc.. therefore, it should not be passed out in the first place!

this still won't stop someone from using the IDs for illegal purposes.. nothing will! they could get the IDs sell them to a broker and you could still never prove that they did it.
the ideal solution is ONLY the primary producer should have all this information.. secondary producer should have copies with "real name, real address" execpt birthday blocked out. use of content should link to the primary producer.
i guess only time will tell. the way 2257 is written now.. it definately has to be taken to court. because of these problems, i highly doubt that 2257 will hold up as is. i really don't think sponsors should jump the gun and start passing out IDs. it is too dangerous to pass out..
imagine if sponsors required you to have a copy of YOUR photo ID just to prove that you are over 18 and can legally become an affiliate with them..
