And really, if the DOJ would simply use their resources to regularly inspect the primary producers to ensure that the content which they are producing and selling is up to snuff, it wouldn't be necessary to place the burden of 2257 record keeping on secondary users (I currently refuse to call us "producers"
).
EDIT -
Maybe they could create a system of compliance for European producers so they could legally sell us content produced overseas, while not forcing us to perform the record keeping. They can't inspect records abroad, so I guess they are forced to inspect secondary users of foreign content.
