No what I'm saying is Sundance led to a lot of pornographers publishing porn without seeing the documents. Sundance in that light was bad.
Maintaining and checking records are different things. Because you do not need to maintain records does not absolve you from a CP conviction.
My stand is based on knowledge of the industry going back nearly 3 decades. There are many less than honest people thoughout this business, even in the US. By seeing and checking the records you are making an attempt to verify the existance and validity of the records.
Now whether those records should be handed out to someone who signs up to an affiliate program is a worrying situation which needs a better solution than what Gonzales came up with.
Sundance was a good decision about maintaining records. Some used it as an excuse to not check or allow others to check the legality of porn.
