It is in our own best interests to be able to prove that our performers are above 18, but failing to do that, is not, in and of itself, a crime.
Does any other country have a 2257 equivalent?

If our government doesn't consider a health card as a valid form of ID and you sell content to a client who is US, and the US folks for whatever reason try to cross check with the issuing agency and find out it's not valid or already know, that client may get fried. I don't know, I just know that locally, it isn't considered legal id, so i'd be wary to let my clients rely on just that...
