2257 Compliance for Clip Sellers

If you sell clips featuring other performers, federal law requires you to maintain 2257 age verification records. No clip platform handles this for you. Easy2257 does - from $39.95/scene/scene.

Your Platform Doesn't Cover You

Every major clip platform handles their own compliance obligations as a distributor. Your obligations as the primary producer are separate.

ManyVids

Verifies seller identity for platform onboarding. Does not maintain your 2257 production records.

Clips4Sale

Requires compliance statements from studios. Does not serve as your Custodian of Records.

IWantClips

Platform-level verification covers their obligations. Your producer records are your responsibility.

When Does 2257 Apply to My Clips?

2257 Applies When:

  • ✕Your clip features two or more performers in sexually explicit conduct
  • ✕You filmed, directed, or produced the content
  • ✕You hired or collaborated with another performer

2257 Generally Does NOT Apply When:

  • Your clip features only you (solo content)
  • The content does not depict "actual sexually explicit conduct" as legally defined

Common Questions from Clip Sellers

Do I need 2257 records for solo clip content?

Generally, no. Solo content featuring only yourself typically doesn't trigger 2257 obligations. However, the moment you collaborate with another performer in sexually explicit conduct, full 2257 compliance is required.

Does ManyVids handle 2257 compliance for me?

ManyVids handles their own obligations as a distributor. Your independent obligation as the primary producer is separate. No clip platform maintains 2257 records on your behalf.

Can I use Easy2257 for content on multiple platforms?

Yes. Your Easy2257 account covers all your productions regardless of where you sell - ManyVids, Clips4Sale, IWantClips, Fansly, your own website, or anywhere else.

What if I already have clips without 2257 records?

Start now: get your process right for future collaborations, then retroactively collect records from existing collaborators where possible. The most important thing is having a system in place going forward.
