You are speaking of secondary producer records, where you say "I am so-and-so, I am not the primary producer of any content on my site, but so-and-so (and so-and -so-else, and thus-and so, and so on...) provided the content, and here are their addresses"
Under 4472, that is no longer permitted. YOU have to have ALL of the records for ANYTHING that qualifies under 2257 and 4472 that is displayed on your URLs. This applies even if the images are being pulled from a different server; if the address bar at the top belongs to you, you need the docs on file. No exceptions.
Also, note that under 4472, the scope of what requires documentation is substantially expanded from 2257. Some forms of nonexplicit nudity are now regulated, as are simulated sex acts (except for those produced by Hollywood, thanks to lobbyists) and a bunch of other stuff.
It's likely that the expanded definitions may run afoul of the first amendment, but the secondary producer requirements are probably here to stay.
And... there has *never* been an injunction against enforcement of 4472, so since September '06, the FSC injunction was essentially rendered moot, because 4472 essentially eliminated the arguments that FSC made that got them the injunction in the first place.
