prolly why they prefer not to list themselves as 2257, would open them up to inspection of documents they dont have and cannot provide to the feds..

Exactly... This is why sponsors who own paysites should always have their own custodians of records... especially when they have affiliates using their content to promote them.
Take me for instance... There is no way I can get 2257 docs for the images I have on my freesites because I don't own or have any licenses for the images. Alot of sponsors who do own or hold the licenses for the images won't give me any of the 2257 docs so I can't comply. My only option is to list my sponsors as my 3rd party custodians, but the fucked up part is... Instead of having someone at their company be their custodian of records so I have someone to specify on my own compliance pages, alot of them would rather sit on their hands and shift the burden off to their own content producers (See post above).
I obviously can't do the same thing they did because, why would I as a freesite owner list a content provider on my compliance page when I know he is not gonna produce docs to inspectors on my behalf? he didn't sell me content. He sold it to my sponsor.
