2257 Safe basically sounds like a system we already have in place with our custom CMS, it allows us to assign 2257 docs to any photo sets or movies we add to the database and as the image/movie locations never change (they are always pulled from our CMS domain) the documents are also located inside the directory full of content.

The only problem i would say with such a system is if it suffered a catastrophic drive failure but then you would hope the hosting company had a backup on hand anyway.

I much prefer to keep control of legal stuff like this myself based on our attorneys recommendations rather than relying on someone else third-party, chinese whisper version of their interpretation of the law.

As Rich mentioned above, better safe than Bubbas cell mate if the Feds ever did come knocking.
