Lee,

It's possible the affiliate is one of the VERY few who is savvy about 2257A/4472 and wants to stay legal without messing with recordkeeping as a secondary producer (which is required either arguably now or when the regs get issued.)

We discourage our affiliates from using our hosted content as non-hosted even though some do, simply because of 2257A/4472. We make it clear that we do not provide 2257 docs to secondary producers/affiliates, but we do offer a custom gallery maker and we will also host anything the affiliate has made to avoid the 2257 problems. So for us, it's a way of accommodating the new regs, but I agree that it could be simple laziness on the part of the affiliate.
