Why do I need 2257Sentry For My Third-Party Custodial Record Keeping?

What exactly does 2257 require from producers in the adult entertainment industry?

The 2257 Law, formally known as the 18 U.S.C. § 2257 Record-Keeping Requirements, imposes several obligations on producers of adult entertainment content to ensure that all performers are of legal age. Here are the key requirements of this law: Record Keeping, Labeling, and Inspection.

How the 2257 define primary and secondary producers?

Under the 2257 Sentry Law, the definitions of primary and secondary producers are distinct and essential for understanding the scope of responsibilities related to record-keeping requirements.

A primary producer is defined as: Any person who actually films, videotapes, photographs, or creates a visual depiction of actual sexually explicit conduct. This includes entities or individuals who directly engage in the creation of the explicit content, such as production companies, directors, and photographers.

A secondary producer is defined as: Any person or entity that publishes, reproduces, or distributes a visual depiction of actual sexually explicit conduct. This can include website operators or distribution through physical media.

 

What are the specific record-keeping requirements outlined in the 2257?

Records that need to be maintained are: Identification Documentation, Performer Information, Date of Original  Production and cross referencing performers with multiple production.

What are the potential consequences for non-compliance with the 2257?

Non-compliance with the 2257 Sentry Law can lead to severe legal and financial consequences for producers of adult entertainment content. The potential consequences include: fines and imprisonment. 

Is third-party custodianship permitted under the 2257?

Yes, the 2257 Sentry Law allows third-party custodians to maintain required records for producers. These custodians must comply with all record-keeping requirements, including making records available for inspection. Content must clearly label the custodian's name and address. While third parties can hold records, producers remain responsible for ensuring compliance with the law.
