Hi baycouples
Ok, I will try to explain this to you...
The courts understand the difference between the primary and secondary producers... they state this... and yes webmasters by definition produce their website(s) and yes the definition of producer covers both primary and secondary regarding the 2257 record keeping law. So every adult webmaster is by law required to display their 2257 record(s), however this is only the half of it...
Within the required 2257 record, that all US adult webmasters are required to make available, is the "custodian of records" contact information on where to find the records on the models.
Now a webmaster who is only using adult pictures and or movies from a associate program still needs to have a 2257 record statement and include a statement within such pointing to the associate programs street address on where to find the actual information on the models...
Since the models personal information is protected under US law from being released to the "public" ... the most a adult webmaster who does not manufacture any adult content but uses associate program(s) adult content needs only to give a statement within their required 2257 record indicating the street address on where the associate programs records are kept... and such adult webmastes do not need to have such personal information at place of business on the models ... ( since such is protected under US law )
Regarding web hosting ... each company has their own take on what is legal and what is not ...
Don't take my word on this matter... do some research for yourself !
Later,
