2257 requires that even if you buy content from someone else that you must still have a custodian of records.
HOWEVER, 2257 is not enforceable against anybody in Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, and Tennessee.
AND HOWEVER, as a purchaser and not an actual producer, you fit the old definition of "secondary producer" and the FBI has indicated they are not inspecting those companies. The term "secondary producer" was removed from the law by Congress in 2006 and anyone that sells images or puts them on a website is considered a producer, but it seems like the FBI avoided inspecting anyone that fit that old definition, even though the revised law made everybody equal.
SOOO _technically_ you should have an office for your custodian of records.
Realistically..... you should consult with an attorney that knows 2257, doesn't charge a shitload of money to talk to you, does not give you a line of shit that the sky is falling and asks you for more money on the spot.
