Sorry that happened to you Brad... I do not think you have any liability,
as you were not the original producer/photographer of the content.
I rarely shoot without a signed release at the beginning of the session.
If they refuse at the beginning I may shoot, but only if they sign
an additional statement that they have read the entire release and
agree to all terms therein... (I've had models attempt to put in clauses
after the shoot).
But as you know, the only way you can absolutely assure this is to
shoot your own. One point that people also overlook, is that nowhere
in 2257 does it state that a producer is obligated to provide copies of
IDs... only to provide the location of where records are available
for inspection by appointment. Also there are confidentiality issues
regarding the ID information of the models...
