Contact Info Update Requested

I filled in my street address and city as "Anonymous" and filled in my postal code with all zeroes. I hope none of the admins get pissed at me, thinking I'm being belligerent, because nothing could be further from the truth. It's just that with all the freaks and information-collecting companies on the internet these days, I refuse to give away my precise location in the world. I treat every site the same way. If a site requires me to put in a street address (or any other info that could be used to steal my identity), I either use a fake one or I don't register there at all. I know it probably sounds a little paranoid, but you never know what the next trend will be in the world of crime and I'd rather be safe now than sorry later. Besides, Pond5 didn't need my address to do business with me before, why is it suddenly required now (I'm actually asking)?
To the admins: Please let me know if this is going to be a problem so I can get a P.O. box.

Hi guys,
We need accurate and complete contact info. We are representing your work for licensing by end-users and need to verify that it is coming from a legitimate source. Otherwise we open the door to fraudsters, which will be bad for everybody.
So, please make sure to update your contact info with complete, accurate info. We will be verifying everybody and will remove content when we don't have good contact info.

What about artists who reside in one of the more than 70 countries that doesn't have a valid postal system? (Panama, for example) Your system seems to think every address on the planet should have a regular (U.S. style) postal code, which obviously isn't the case.

Pond5 can represent my work for licensing by end-users without my street address, and you only need to check my bins and my sales records to see that I'm a legitimate source. If this is going to be a problem, I need to know it now before anyone starts removing my content.
