How many video stores have copies of the ID's from every porn star in the video that THEY are providing to their members?
NONE
Why is that? They give access to porn materials and so do webmasters. The laws were invented for them...not for the Internet so why are then not doing this?
Because they are not the original producers of the pornographic materials therefore they do not fall under the laws of 2257. When the video goes to the store, it has the contact info for the 2257 records keeper in it. That is all they need...That is all anybody on the internet needs.
It?s that simple people.
Czech your facts.

Well said. Each video contains 2257 record keeping information, thus protecting the video store in the event that the content of the video is challenged.
Shall we add that custodian of records cannot be a company (It must be an individual) and they may NOT be using a P.O. Box as their custodial address? I've seen so many companies doing this (Some quite promient) and where does this leave their customers? Up shit's creek. So at least make sure that the custodial address is a real address and not some box in a country they might not live in.
