2257 Case Law... Hope you enjoy !

Since last that I have checked the laws such have changed somewhat; the term "secondary producer" has come to be; also It is US law for "secondary producers" also known as "3rd parties" as to link to the proper 2257 records at the bottom of their adult web sites.

I have indicated It was not required by "third parties" as to display the 2257 record(s); such law have change making 2257 records required even for "third party" sites. Even though I said it was not required I would like to note that I still said it was a good idea...

The issue of displaying "secondary producer" or "third party" content and the required 2257 records has come into question so here is some Case Law for you and some examples of except able 2257 records.




Case Law on 2257

In Sundance Assoc., Inc. v. Reno, 139 F.3d 804 (10th Cir. 1998), the Tenth Circuit rejected the prior regulation's distinction between primary and secondary producers and entirely exempted from the record-keeping requirements those who merely distribute or those whose activity "does not involve hiring, contracting for, managing, or otherwise arranging for the participation of the performers depicted." 18 U.S.C. § 2257(h)(3).

However, the DOJ takes the position that American Library Ass'n v. Reno, 33 F.3d 78 (DC Cir. 1994), "implicitly accepted that the distinction between primary and secondary producers was valid" and that "the requirement that secondary producers maintain records was not a constitutionally impermissible burden on protected speech."

For online publishers, a statement that includes the location of these records must be displayed on their site's "homepage, any known major entry points, or principal URL (including the principal URL of a subdomain), or in a separate window that opens upon the viewer's clicking a hypertext link that states, '18 U.S.C. 2257 Record-Keeping Requirements Compliance Statement.'"

The US courts do acknowledge a difference in producing adult content by the "primary" producer(s) and by making the 2257 records available and a "secondary" or "third party" producer(s) who displays adult content and who links to such required 2257 records being supplied by the "primary" producer.

As indicated above in this case law review the "secondary" producer or "third parties" who use such adult content only needs "For online publishers, a statement that includes the location of these records" not the actual records being held in confidence by the "primary" producer. Also it is required to have at the very bottom of his or her adult website a hyper link to the 2257 statement saying "18 U.S.C. 2257 Record-Keeping Requirements Compliance Statement" to a statement that points to the where to find the "custodian of records".

As an example TGP/MGP websites that are ran by "third parties" or "secondary" producers; they are only required to have a 2257 statement stating they are not the "primary" producer and to give a statement on where to find the required records.

On the other hand the "primary" producers, who produce adult content, are required to have the proper 2257 records and to display they have the custodian of records and give their proper contact information for such and must provide the same required link stating '18 U.S.C. 2257 Record-Keeping Requirements Compliance Statement.'".
