Video and Images are both covered under 2257.

You don't need a 2257 record per image. Since you are the same model, you have the same model release.. your production is most likely your continually running show.. whereas photographers have their works done in sets (and then hopefully registered at copyright office).

The major problem for single/solo sites is that you would need to list your home address (since that is your place of business) for records.. which means stalkers and "fans" would know where you live.

There are many nuances to this biz that the DOJ does not understand, and in addition, everyone's situation is different, that's why you do need to consult with an attorney about your specific situation.

I think threads like these are a great place to gain information, and to allow you to formulate the right questions to ask your attorney, rather than act as a replacement.

By doing as much of your research, you can reduce the amount of hourly time you spend with an attorney.

People who run their cams through a cam network can be protected by having the cam network store their 2257 records so that arrangement protects your personal identity.
