Lets assume the content in question has not been drastically altered by the website and that it is in fact 2257 compliant on it's own in relation to the original producer. You the webmaster are presenting the content as it was originally released by the producer to you as THEIR WORK.
Edited... re-arranged.... Couldn't a studio authorize a theater to make edits they see fit to a movie? It doesn't mean the theater is suddenly the producer.
This mostly would effect sponsor promo content. If there was a way for webmasters to present it as the SPONSOR COMPANIES own works and have it be 2257 compliant itself, then again, you'd be the equivalent of a movie theater. Same deal for feeds.
These sorts of arguments are going to be going on for weeks and months to come.
