Well it's something I just thought of an hour ago.....so of course there are details that need to be worked out, but that's why I brought it up for discussion.
As for the legal aspect, the comments put out by the DOJ did say that if a primary producer doesn't give records to a secondary producer then they are in violation of the regs.
However, as a primary producer (program owner) you have every right to decide which secondary producers you want to do business with. You also have the right to terminate that business relationship at any time for any (or no) reason.
So if they don't want to play by the program's rules, then they're out and they have to take any content previously given to them down, and the sponsor is under no obligation to send out the documents.
