This is off of JD Odenberger's XXXLaw.net website. He is one of the top First Amendment attorneys in th U.S. The idea that the FBI is going to come to your door and ask for Suzy Pornstar's ids and you smugly tell them you have some service in Croatia or wherever holding the records instead of at your own office is a clear contradiction of the spirit and intent of the law.
People have a lot of wacky ideas about 2257. I even see big programs and sites online that don't have a legit 2257 statement.

produces the book, magazine, periodical, film, videotape or other matter
as part of his control of or through his employment with an

place of business. If the organization is dissolved, the individual who
was responsible for maintaining the records on behalf of the
