Loads of confusion, I think it means:
If you show any pics/thumbs/vids on your site (your domain, your URL) you are a secondary producer. I think there is no doubt about this part.
As a secondary producer, you need to have physical (or digital?) copies of the 2257 docs and have them archived for inspection. A link to a page with a 2257 statement is not sufficient from what I read, but the primary producer "may obliterate from identification documents the performers' addresses, social security numbers and all but the year from their dates of birth."
So, you have to get the docs from the sponsor or content provider, but they blank out some data before.
You need to have a (digital?) copy of every image/movie you use archived somewhere and create a reference under which URL this picture/video can be found. Pretty much common sense, makes the inspection alot easier since they can check all pics/vids, see where they are on your site and have a look at the corresponding docs. Otherwise they'd end up with a nice "guess who and where" game.
The thing that really worries me is the "Foreign Identification": "shooting within the United States or its territories requires that same type of identification, but only issued by the United States or a state government."
So, does that mean you can only shoot foreign models outside the US because they have no United States or or a state government ID ? State government doesn't mean foreign country governement, right ?! I think so, shooting a czech model in prague is ok, shooting her in the US is not.
