2257 regs published in full

[Greenguy]

Just one question to EVERYONE that has content on their sites - the current version of 2257 (not this new one, the one that's been in place for some time now) requires you to list the address of the location of the records, which is supposed to be your main place of business & you are required to have the documents available during normal business hours.....this is not new.

A lot of you are saying that you didn't have this info in place already?

I have documents at my place of business as well as my attorney's office. Thing is, I have my attorney's address listed, not my home. This new crap about the actual address rather than whatever is what is really doing a lot of us in. Even my corporate records show a post office box and that is supposedly legal. What a joke.

I'm with Linda... my business address has always been my PO Box and that's been more than adequate up to now. If it's good enough for my business paperwork, good enough for registering domains, good enough for my sponsors to send checks to, and good enough for my cell phone company to accept as my billing AND mailing address... well, you get the picture.

After talking with a close friend in the biz earlier tonight, I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to get my panties in a total bunch about this until such time as I know without question that it has become an enforceable law without injunctions and with a lot fewer loopholes. I will continue doing what I've been doing and wait to hear what comes next, primarily because I'm not going through the trauma of tracking all of my old sites/pages if I don't absolutely have to... that's one chore I am definitely NOT looking forward to! This is one big ugly bridge I prefer to cross only when it comes to me.

I think 99% of paysites and affiliates that comply with the previous regulation rely on the Sundance vs. Reno decision and just list the custodian of records information provided by the primary producer:

"In fulfilling its obligations under Section 2257, relies on the plain language of the statute and on the well-reasoned decision of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Sundance, which states that entities who merely distribute content, and have no role in procuring models or producing content, are exempt from on-site record keeping requirements."
