question about 2257

dutchboy · 2005-02-19, 06:21 PM

Hi,
As I got back in this business just a few months ago after doing 'normal' jobs for some years I would like to know more about this 2257 stuff. I have searched this forum and also searched with Google. I can find a lot of pages with the text (although the text on many sites differ in huge ways). But I can not find any good explanation of this law. Any link to a good explanation will be of great help to me.

I'm wondering if and how this law is affecting webmasters from outside the USA. I'm European and my new website will be located on a server in Australia.

O, and can somebody explain what "Custodian of Records" means. Is this the person / company that created the pictures / movies. Or is this the person / company owing the legal copyrights for the material.

Thanks for your answers.
Greetings from The Netherlands
Paul
