Cliff notes:

"Therefore, any time after May 1, 2007, the court may rule that secondary producers are required to have copies of the records, have them indexed, and be subject to inspections."

"Therefore, when shooting outside of the United States, any government's picture identification including the person's legal name, photo and date of birth is acceptable, even if the producer's office is in the United States; shooting within the United States or its territories requires that same type of identification, but only issued by the United States or a state government."

"Therefore, "a copy of the URL" simply means where the image is located, for example, www.abc.com/pictures/12345."

"Accordingly, the required "copy of the depiction" can be kept by keeping a copy of the commercially available DVD." This also appears to mean that if a Web site offers the files in ".mpg" format, then the copies may be kept that way."

"Thus, a producer is in compliance so long as the records are accompanied by an identifiable copy of each depiction (such as one copy of an entire DVD library for a DVD manufacturer or one copy of the entire Web site for a webmaster)."

"Thus, primary producers may obliterate from identification documents the performers' addresses, social security numbers and all but the year from their dates of birth."
When did they sneak this one in? At first glance this looks to be a good thing.
