It's easier just to assume you HAVE to comply than to try to read into the rule what you WANT to read into it. Trying to find some loophole to get of doing this will only cause you trouble. Let the lawyers find the loopholes and until a court says "No you are not a 2ndary prodcuer" safest best is to comply. Worst case scenario is you did a lot of work for nothing. Beats jail time.

Part of the anxiety comes from the fact that these new 2257 regs are mostly red tape, and are just a way of hassling adult webmasters for the sake of hassling them.

95% of all regulations in all businesses are BS red tape. And yes these rules are just to get as many of use to quit as they can. They rather have 1000 of us to just quit than to throw 1000 of us in prison.

So its either pay out the ass for officespace or list a home address. That must be a great feeling. Something like that wouldn't be the source of anxiety at all. Nope, no anxiety there.

Of course it is but if you have been shooting your own content you've had to do this anyways. If you haven't well this is the price we pay to do this for a living. If you are afraid or ashamed to list your name and address then you don't have much choice but to find another way of making a living. At least office space is a tax deduction. Every business in my town has to have a business license( which is a BS rule in itself. License just means TAX. ). Through that I can find the name of the owner and their address through the public records.
