According to the new 2257 regs, there is no difference now between primary and secondary producers. All must maintain the same records.
Secondary producers are those that take vids/pics from other producers and put that content on their site.
If you do have your own site, which means that you have control over the content and domain name, ie you upload content to your servers, then you must have maintain the records or have a third party service like
www.2257Safe.com maintain those records.
Failure to do so can result in imprisonment and fines.
For the amateur - this also means that as long as they are one producing and uploading the content to their own sites -- including live cam shows then they need to have the records. If they are working for another site - such as ImLive.com - then ImLive.com needs to keep the records.
Be aware that solo girl sites, even where its only the owner of the site performing, also need to keep records for every performance. And they need to categorize those records properly for every performance. Again failure to so can result in imprisonment and fines.
If the amateur has a blog site - such as thumbblogger then they would also be considered the producer and need to maintain the records.
Finally, the site owner has to provide their home address on the 2257 statement unless they have an office where the records are stored AND that is their primary business address. You cannot use email addresses or PO Boxes on your 2257 statement. If you do so, again, that is a violation that can lead to imprisonment and fines.
2257 is a two part law - labeling and record keeping. Failure to do either properly is a violation.
Again you are 100% correct in your analysis.
