Lots of versions of suitable wording, but something like this is common:
"In compliance with United States Code, Title 18, Section 2257, all models, actors, actresses and other persons who appear in any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct appearing or otherwise contained in or at this site were over the age of eighteen years at the time of the creation of such depictions. Records required to be maintained pursuant to U.S.C. Title 18, Section 2257 are kept by the custodian of records at:"... followed by the Custodian of Records name, address and 'phone and/or email address.
I use Comus, like it, even help out with support. But this is one feature of the program I don't understand the purpose of. It was a response to the proposed 2257 changes, but as I read those proposals, this linking requirement doesn't address them. If the proposals come into law, TGP operators themselves (along with gallery submitters) will be responsible for maintaining records relating to "sexually explicit" images displayed on their site(s). There is nothing I am aware of in either the present or the proposed 2257 regulations which requires TGP operators to ensure the galleries to which they link are compliant. In any case the existence of a 2257 page does itself not ensure compliancy.
That said, if someone asks for a 2257 link, I guess you either give it them or don't submit...
