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.
