Going slightly off topic:
A video file that is sexualy explicit that is wrapped in DRM and distributed on P2P opens up a big liability front. Your video file may end up in a "hostile zone" in some West Virginia town like Extreme Associates case, and the DA there decides that your material is obscene and that it was imported into his district.
Websites have an advantage, but not exactly full protection, that there could be limitations and disclaimers as to where the content can be viewed, age verification ,etc.
With P2P, it's wide open and given the RIAA and MPAA focus on trying to shutdown P2P based on their belief that child p*rn is being used on P2P, it wouldn't be too far of stretch to think that prosecutors are watching the P2P scene.
Going back on topic:
Probably the best way to deal with video 2257 compliance is to include a URL to the 2257 info on the video.
So for every video clip, put in the URL with some kind of 2257 compliance statement at the beginning of your video clip, and this should keep you out of trouble.
