2257 Why does it affect affiliates???

Was just reading the 2257 laws. I'm not understanding why affiliates are so worried about what content to display on a site if they are say for example promoting my site.

The law says this:
The statute defines
``produces'' as ``to produce, manufacture, or publish any book,
magazine, periodical, film, video tape, computer-generated image,
digital image, or picture, or other similar matter and includes the
duplication, reproduction, or reissuing of any such matter, but does
not include mere distribution or any other activity which does not
involve hiring, contracting for[,] managing, or otherwise arranging for
the participation of the performers depicted.

So basically if you are just advertising a chosen site, and you had nothing to do with the actual hiring of the talent, you are exempt. Am I understanding this correctly?
