What happens if the content provider simply moves and the info on your license has their old address? This is pretty much the same kind of situation. As long as the info was accurate upon the original date of publication and/or republication and distribution, then you are safe.
In your case the guy is dead...So what? I am pretty sure the Attorney General can confirm that he was alive and the custodial info was valid when you made the purchase. What's that??? The guy lives in Germany and the Attorney General can not confirm this? Hmmm...Perhaps you should have bought from a US provider then.
Here Mr. Asshahahahaha....Here is an altered copy of a German Drivers License. No, I can't read it either but the content provider told me she was old enough.
I am not saying that providers out of the US are not following our laws, in fact I know many of them are. But the fact remains that they are not truly responsible and YOU are.
