but the webmasters that trust their content provider's word that the content is legal deserve better. why don't web content producers simply put a link to their custodian of records info on their main page? i don't get it....

Webmasters need to get informed too.. THey trust that their content provider is covering their ass and doing things legally. But unfortunately a lot of people don't even know where to start.
It's blind faith. Loyalty is good, but if you don't watch your own ass, nobody else is going to watch it for you, that's for sure. They can say they will, they might even intend to.. but it's always best to be armed with information. That way nothing can catch you by surprise. If more WEBMASTERS were a little more "paranoid" about 2257 compliance, more content providers would act accordingly. It's a vicious circle, really. Too many people coming into the biz with bright ideas and no real INFORMATION. They work on whim and conjecture, but don't bother to hunt up the facts. Aaron is giving a great big reality check and probably scared the shit out of a lot of people today, but better he does things this way here than them learning the hard way behind bars as Bubba's bitch.
