An excerpt from Mr. Lee's analysis of the effects on section 2257 as amended under the language the 'Adam Walsh Act':
"Not only must an original producer gather, create, cross-index, and store all of these records, but all re-publishers must also obtain and store the records themselves. So the regulatory scheme not only requires substantially burdensome record-keeping requirements, it also mandates widespread record-shifting, as copies of the required records are made and transferred to each subsequent re-publisher. And since federal law does nothing to protect the privacy of this information as it shifts among re-publishers, current law exposes performers to the dangers of identity theft, stalking, and worse. Naturally enough, this has a chilling effect on the creation of constitutionally protected expression."
