Can you explain this comment a bit? I'm not sure I understand how 2257 regulations have lowered costs for businesses.

From where I sit, the burden of compliance with 2257 has actually increased over time, and the expense of complying with it has gone up, accordingly.

A law I could once comply with through use of nothing more than a file cabinet now requires a manner of cross-referencing that simply isn't possible in an analog system. Now, you pretty much have to store your records in digital form, within a database that permits you to cross-reference all the various pieces of data you have to store, from all known aliases of the performer to each and every depiction of that performer that is subject to the statute.

How has 2257 lowered your costs? Do you mean that the more recent changes to the regulations (like clarification that it's acceptable to have a third-party like an attorney serve as your custodian of records) have lowered the cost of compliance from where it was in, say, 2005?
