If they are reproducing any imagery such a box-covers or promotional material they do.Question: do DVD distributors also need 2257 info? Since the info is already printed on the DVD and the box and appearing before and fter the credits on the movie itself?
Wouldn't that be the Replication and Authoring? Not Distribution?Originally Posted by Pistol

Rocky - If you replicate anything in hardcopy or online you are required to be compliant.
Yeah I realize that.
I think you missed what I was saying here:
Replication/authoring and distribution of DVD's are two totally seperate things. I understand that the company doing the authoring and replication needs 2257 info, but what about the distributor? Should the Producer supply the Distributor with 2257 info, even though the 2257 info is already on the DVD jacket, on the face of the DVD itself AND on the actual video in 2 places (before and after the credits).
THAT'S my question. Do we need to supply the Distrobutor 2257 info if all they are doing is distributing it? Not replicating it. Not authoring it. Not producing it.

WRT the new statute I don't believe so, however, and has as always been the case some retailers won't touch material that isn't fully compliant.
It also depends on whether the receiver will want need to develop promotional materials.
