Bottom line is that the new 2257 regs clearly state that Redlight and the other primary producers of the DVD content that adultlegal had licensed are *required by federal law* to provide copies of those records to the secondary producers (ie: you, the guy who is using the licensed content)
The exact date at which they are required to hand this stuff over is kinda vague, but after june 23rd it is definitely something they will have to do. This goes beyond their adultlegal contract with you (which also clearly states that the content must be "2257 compliant") and becomes an issue of federal law.
Now, i'm sure Redlight would like to not give these records out and have all that content disappear from the web, but it would be incredibly stupid for them to not give it out, as it would *instantly* open them up for a federal shitstorm, not to mention private lawsuits by companies who have contracts with them that state the material must be 2257 complaint.
So i would figure they will be waiting as long as possible and then making the records available.. unless they really have a desire to wind up in a world of shit with multiple parties, not the least of which is the DOJ.
It still puts us as secondary producers in an odd spot as far as using this content immediately after june 23rd, because we will still have the mountainous task of organizing and cross-indexing it all by name, scene, url etc, and thats not gonna happen overnight.
This is a really good thread though- this is gonna be a big issue, lets keep this one alive
