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.

Unfortunately, I am already taken~
