agreed! , 2257 is not just about protecting minors , it's also a way the goverment looks for the "FBI 10 most wanted" and/or people legal to work in the U.S , by keeping records of all models regardless of sex/age/etc. you are reporting to the goverment that you are not "harboring" any criminals should they find that one of your models is a known felon/terrorist.
i personally have always kept records for the simple fact of proving that all content produced using a certain model was lawfully obtained and signature released by the model for distribution by me.
