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.

So what about all of your current affiliates that are using your content right now? Do they have picture ID's of each model provided by you? Because they have to keep it on record for 7 years you still need to send it to them or you are violating the regulations.

Walters adds, ?Hopefully the courts will act before 30 days expire, but those parts of the regulations that don?t specifically say ?June 23, 2005,? can take effect immediately. As a practical matter, any attempt to start enforcement early would make them look overzealous ? sort of a ?damn the torpedoes? attitude.? Still, he?s not entirely sure Justice views that attitude as a bad one.
