2257 Record-Keeping Exemption Statement

Statement of Compliance

Cultpix is a curated streaming platform dedicated to preserving and presenting vintage cult, genre, and exploitation cinema. This statement addresses our compliance with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 18 U.S.C. § 2257A (the "Record-Keeping Requirements").

Exemption Status

Cultpix is exempt from the record-keeping requirements specified in 18 U.S.C. § 2257 for the following reasons:

  • Pre-1990 Production Date: Our entire catalog of films containing actual sexually explicit conduct, as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2256(2)(A), was produced and completed prior to November 1, 1990. According to 18 U.S.C. § 2257(a)(1), the record-keeping requirements apply only to visual depictions of actual sexually explicit conduct "made after November 1, 1990."
  • Historical/Archival Content: Cultpix functions as a digital archive and distributor of historical cinema. We do not produce, film, photograph, digitize, assemble, manufacture, publish, duplicate, reproduce, or reissue any new visual depictions of actual sexually explicit conduct as defined under the statute.
  • Limited Distribution Role: Our activities fall under the exemptions outlined in 18 U.S.C. § 2257(h)(2)(B), as our role is limited to distribution of previously existing visual depictions with historical and cultural significance.

Verification of Production Dates

Cultpix maintains thorough documentation verifying the production dates of all films in our catalog:

  • All films in our catalog were produced before 1995
  • The subset of films that might be classified as containing sexually explicit content (approximately 7% of our catalog) were all produced and released prior to 1990
  • Production dates are verified through original copyright registrations, production documentation, theatrical release dates, and other authoritative film history sources

Commitment to Compliance

While exempt from the specific record-keeping requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 2257, Cultpix is committed to:

  • Maintaining accurate information regarding the production dates of all content
  • Ensuring all content is properly classified and labeled
  • Implementing robust age verification systems for platform access
  • Promptly addressing any compliance inquiries from regulatory authorities
