Since making a website falls under publishing, you should be able to supply the 2257.

I disagree, and I think that anyone honestly looking at the law will disagree with you, as well. Using your version, the typesetter working on the printing press making the book would have to have copies of the records. The people assembling the tapes on the production line would have to have copies of the records. This is why the clause "or any other activity which does not involve hiring, contracting, or otherwise arranging for the participation of the performers involved" was put in there. That clause specifically limits the CoR recordkeeping to those that would know it best... the people that hired the models.
