As for the 2005 situation where you again sought to join AMVC, my email threads show that the 2257 statements on your DVDs did not contain all the required information and you never resubmitted them with new custodian screens. Had you done so, we would have been very happy to list your films on AMVC. I always thought our passing contacts were friendly ones and the resentment evidenced in your post here is surprising. I hope you will retract it.
Here is the email thread regarding being "flipped off":

> The film must contain a 2257 Compliance Statement in the film itself. This compliance statement must meet several criteria:
1. Content: The statement must list the title of the film, the name of the person who is your custodian of records (a company name is not allowed), the complete street address where the records are stored (a p.o. box is not allowed), and the dates of production for the film (typically this is the dates on which each session was filmed).
Even the item you quoted says "custodian's name and complete address here".
We'll need your 2257 screen to be correct to list the films on AMVC.

Nick...
Thanks for the email. The reason I sent you the quote was to show you that it does indeed say that a person's name is required and that even the quote you used said a name was needed.
My responses have been totally non-emotional and business oriented. The law (which is also linked on our site) says the name of the custodian and the street address of the custodian and the dates of production are required information.
Its a cut and dry situation with no room for negotiation.
We are always available by email to answer any questions you have on this matter or any other.
