> You are thinking in the realm of theory. Yes that is correct. I am thankful I have other means of income meaning I don't need to model for a cam site. > Creating a fake ID = super illegal. Agreed. But if I'm at the desperate stage where I have no choice but to sign up to a cam site, I would prefer taking that risk than having such PII leak many years in the future and affect my career prospects (the article mentions some of the data being up to 20 years old - most of these people now have no doubt left the scene but their new life can now be screwed up by this data leaking). Neither is a good solution, but IMO the risks of the latter outweigh those of the former. Regarding prepaid cards, yes I know they can be detected and blocked, but is there any incentive to do so? It makes sense for a performer to want to protect their privacy, so I don't see why the site would block these cards? |

> 470b. Every person who displays or causes or permits to be displayed or has in his or her possession any driver’s license or identification card of the type enumerated in Section 470a with the intent that the driver’s license or identification card be used to facilitate the commission of any forgery, is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one year, or by imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170.
You have to have the intent to commit a forgery. This is defined elsewhere but means to use the id to commit fraud.
So you have a novelty id that says your name is Mickey Mouse and you are 100 years old. You show it to your friends. Or maybe you get one as a gag gift for a friend. Not illegal in California. Using a fake id to misrepresent your age for legal purposes such as buying alcohol, tobacco, firearms, voting, acting in porn? Very illegal.
