The REAL problem is for "real" amateurs and other's whose "place of business" is "home." Home, then, is where your records must be kept, and home is the address you must publicly display.
If some psychopath pays a visit and tries to harm you, that's your tough shit for being in this business. I'm not trying to bust yer balls, mind you, but that is one more incentive that Uncle Sam provides for you to quit the biz right now...
*IF* they want to mess with you, 2257 is the easiest way to go - "kinda in compliance" can easily land you in jail, and don't think that "I didn't want people to know where I lived" will get much sympathy from the prosecutors - or the judge. The law is REAL clear on this point.
Also keep in mind that they can visit you at home (in this example) "during normal business hours" (arguably 9-5), and can enter without a warrant "to inspect your documents" - if they happen to see that resinated bong on your shelf, DON'T think that they'll turn a blind eye to it...
And Yes, I am the Custodian of Records for our real amateur content (though no one would mistake my 40 year old ass nor my 'nearly 40' wife for being 'underage.') I have been advised by council that if I am uncomfortable using my home address, then to get an office and be there 9-5 - or simply leave the biz - or face jail and a hefty fine.
Psychopaths? I'm armed and dangerous and have NO sense of humor about folks coming by and saying "I saw your wife on the Internet... eh eh he he
