Hosts are not secondary producers so therefor it shouldn't matter where you are hosted, or am I totally wrong here RawAlex?

The issue is not about the host being any sort of producer.
It's about location, location , location.
The feds wouldnt ask the host to provide any 2257 docs. They would ask the host to shut down the site if the owner couldnt provide the docs.

Agreed Fonz, but the authorities don't take copies of files they usually seize the equipment for proof at a trial.
