Dirty Dane · 05-27-2005, 11:29 AM

Its very clear that if you operate on US market (webhost etc.) you need to comply. But its also clear that you don't need to keep personal records, since the US authorities can not, and will not, do inspections. Also there are nowhere it says you need to send records, if requested, in the new 2257.

So what apply to you is the statement - where and what.
Except you need the statement on your own domain, I can't really see much difference from the old 'traditional' 2257 linking to the primary producers/custodians website.

What needed in the 2257 statement is:

- An uniqe identifying ID of the gallery (if the gallery is your gallery number 100 you call it simply 100)
- The date you publish the gallery
- The name and street address of the primary producer (the provided one) at the date you upload it (you are still secondary producer, but it says nowhere that you need an adress in US to operate on US market)
- An additional statement that underline that you are not US citizen or live in US. That could be your adress outside USA, or a text that state it (if they want to, they can do whois lookup. Further they can not force you against local data protection laws)

The statement can be linked at the location of the copyright information, to a secondary window, and thank god for php include.

I mean the above comply 2257, for non-US affiliate gallery makers.
I also mean it would be the same for pictures/banners etc.

Any input on this? It's the best we can do, unless jumping on the FHG wagon is the only option.
