OK, thanks for the link. It very explicitly states that this "updating" of the regulations (from 1988 and 1994) applies only to producers of pornographic materials. These producers already operate under this burden but this reg toughens enforcement. Key excerpt ....
The record-keeping requirements apply to ‘‘[w]hoever produces’’ the material in question. 18 U.S.C. 2257(a). 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.’’ 18 U.S.C. 2257(h)(3).
Bottom line ... don't expect any changes.
