I understand that 2257 does not apply to content produced before 2009 if it's only solo simulated or lascivious display only as this type of content is exempt.

Meaning no records need to be kept, yet I'm assuming you'd need some records such as model releases and I.D. proving the shoot was done before 2009.

My question is for those that actually have done a lot of research or hired lawyers to create statements or advice them of this situation.

1. What kind of statement do you use?

2. What if you have a photo set that has Exempt and non-exempt content in the same set (meaning softcore exempt but also penetration masturbation but only use the Exempt content. As the secondary producer you only have to be responsible for the content you are using. Where the primary producer would be required to have full 2257 docs for the hardcore images. Is that correct?

3. If some of the I.D. were shot too far away to be clear. Normally under 2257 this would not be in compliance. But on exempt content it should not matter as it's exempt. Is that correct?

The reason for these questions is I'm going over the docs of some content I'm thinking about buying. And not all is 100% compliant as far as the 2257 forms and some of the I.D. being shot too far away.

Any quality informative input would be appreciated. Thanks, in advance.
