Being in business requires keeping records and keeping them accurate. Try getting your tax returns wrong and see what the IRS have to say. Same goes for complying to federal, state and zoning business laws. Same goes for insurance.

As pornographers we will always be judged by harsher rules than your local shops. Live by it or go find a new trade.

I've lived with a form of 2257 for decades and it was no problem. Ask me for the documents of an image or video on my sites and I can pull them out in minutes. What I see continually in these threads is an attitude that as the publisher is on the Internet they don't need to adhere to these rules.

Q. Who is required to maintain records?

A. Both primary and secondary producers of covered materials. A primary producer "is any person who actually films, videotapes, photographs, or creates a digitally- or computer-manipulated image, a digital image, or a picture of, or who digitizes an image of, a visual depiction of an actual human being engaged in actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct." 28 C.F.R. § 75.1(c)(1). A secondary producer "is any person who produces, assembles, manufactures, publishes, duplicates, reproduces, or reissues a book, magazine, periodical, film, videotape, or digitally- or computer-manipulated image, picture, or other matter intended for commercial distribution that contains a visual depiction of an actual human being engaged in actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct, or who inserts on a computer site or service a digital image of, or otherwise manages the sexually explicit content of a computer site or service that contains a visual depiction of, an actual human being engaged in actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct, including any person who enters into a contract, agreement, or conspiracy to do any of the foregoing." 28 C.F.R. § 75.1(c)(2).
