Exactly right Pam, and I missed that the first time I read the report. Diabolic are indeed 'primary producers' and thus have been subject to 2257 since they started producing their own content, since the law has been in effect since '95.

Just to clarify. If you are a webmaster and DO NOT produce your own content but purchase it from a producer or provider or use the free content provided by a sponsor, AND you are a member of the FSC, then you are immune to 2257 inspections due to the current injunction that was granted the FSC.

NOTE: I am not suggesting that just because you are a member of the FSC, you should ignore 2257 altogether. Frankly, I think that you should obtain the necessary documents from any producer you purchase content from and come up with a system for maintaining those records in a way that will allow you to access them quickly.

Further, since you cannot get the 2257 documents for much of the content and banners provided by sponsors, I would recommend either using softcore only, or being able to quickly change any hardcore content or banners out ASAP if it becomes necessary.
