New rules on 2257

IANAL, but it seems to me that records have to be made available to investigators designated by the Attorney General for inspection at your place of business. I don't see any requirement to have the actual records linked from the pages containing the content or otherwise available to the general public.

(excerpt from Sec. 75.4 Location of records.)

" Any producer required by this part to maintain records shall make
such records available at the producer's place of business."

(excerpt from Sec. 75.6 Statement describing location of books and records.)

"(3) A street address at which the records required by this part may
be made available. The street address may be an address specified by
the primary producer or, if the secondary producer satisfies the
requirements of Sec. 75.2(b), the address of the secondary producer. A
post office box address does not satisfy this requirement."

(excerpt from Sec. 75.5 Inspection of records)

"(a) Authority to inspect. Investigators designated by the Attorney
General (hereinafter ``investigators'') are authorized to enter without
delay and at reasonable times (as defined in subsection (c)(1)) any
establishment of a producer where records under Sec. 75.2 are
maintained to inspect, within reasonable limits and in a reasonable
manner, for the purpose of determining compliance with the record-
keeping requirements of 18 U.S.C. 2257."
