(b) Setting up offshore - if anyone can't afford 2-3K for a corp and legal advice, better they never ever think about OS, they would just be a liability. It's obviously also an issue as to whether an individual is in a secure legal position to consider an OS operation - specifically re background/citizenship.
 
(c) Maintain 2257 for affiliates - totally agree. It's obviously crazy and irresponsible to introduce an affiliate program and not be able to legally support affiliates with 2257 docs if needed. | 
	
 Agreed to all points.  If your goal is to shelter your identity to not comply with US law thats ridiculous.
For offshore entities, refer to a local tax lawyer to advise on the implications as in some countries you may get a surprise.
