Unless you happen to visit the US

Keeping the records can help you - such as providing you will an inventory of your content and videos so that you don't buy the same stuff twice. Plus, you will know that all your content is 100% legal in the US. If there is ever a doubt, you will absolutely know that you are legal and have the records to prove it.

There are those that will tell you that if you sell goods and services in the US - You must abid by the laws of the US. I won't go there... though it is true.

I am a US citizen but live in Germany.

I keep 2257 records even though they would never be inspected since the DOJ does not conduct inspections outside the US.

But... with the way things are going... if they make the laws tighter and require this information just because you happen to host in the US, you will already be ahead of the game.

It simply is not that hard to keep the records.
