I am going through this thread and I am finding that there is a lot of confusion with regards to the "new' 2257 regulations. I am from Canada and I found that getting a highlighter and going through the regulations yourself helps tremendously.
When it all comes down to it most of us are "Secondary Producers". Therefore, in order for us to comply we have to keep and maintain records of the content on our sites... [Pay Attentions to the BOLD]
"A producer who is a secondary producer as defined in 75.1(c) may statisfy the requirements of this part to create and maintain records BY ACCEPTING FROM THE PRIMARY PRODUCER, as defined in 75.1(c), COPIES OF THE RECORDS described in paragraph (a) for this section. Such a SECONDARY PRODUCER SHALL ALSO KEEP RECORDS OF THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE PRIMARY PRODUCER FROM WHOM HE RECEIVED THE COPIES OF THE RECORDS"
I don't have to be a lawyer to conprehend this stuff, but what is tells me is that in order to me to comply will the record keeping regulations I should get a copy of the records from the sponsors, content providers, content producers, etc....
My guess is that when the Sponsors start complying with the regulations that's the only why we will get the documents we need to prove that the model on our sites are over 18 years old. If they don't provide the documents to there affiliates then we can't support them. It's that plain and simple.
