A method of producing a live performance, the performance being transmitted over a network, the performance comprising content that is subject to a federal record-keeping requirement, the method comprising the steps of:
- (i) providing to a computer system an identification of a performer of a live performance,
- (ii) providing to the computer system names used by the performer of the live performance other than the performer's legal name when the performer has at least a name that is required to be provided by the federal record-keeping regulation other than the performer's legal name,
- (iii) providing to the computer system (a) an identification of the live performance, and (b) a date of the live performance,
- the identifications, names and date in steps (i), (ii) and (iii) being provided in accordance with a federal record-keeping requirement,
- (iv) associating by the computer system the information provided in steps (i), (ii) and (iii) by storing the information pertaining to the performer and the information pertaining to the performance in a storage medium independent of a storage medium used to transmit the performance, and
- (v) transmitting the live performance by a computer system over a network not prior to completion of step (iv).
A method of producing a live performance, the performance being transmitted over a network, the performance comprising content that is subject to a federal record-keeping requirement, the method comprising the steps of:
- (i) providing to a computer system identification information from an identification document of a performer of a live performance,
- (ii) providing to the computer system (a) an identification of the live performance, and (b) a date of the live performance,
- the identification information, identification document, names, and identification and date of the live performance in steps (i) and (ii) being provided in accordance with a federal record-keeping requirement,
- (iii) associating by the computer system the information provided in steps (i) and (ii) by storing the information pertaining to the performer and the information pertaining to the performance in a storage medium independent of a storage medium used to transmit the performance,
- and
- (iv) transmitting the live performance by a computer system over a network not prior to completion of step (iii).
A method of producing a live performance, the performance being transmitted over a network, the performance comprising content that is subject to a federal record-keeping requirement, the method comprising the steps of:
- (i) providing to a computer system a copy of an identification document of the performer of the live performance,
- (ii) providing to the computer system (a) an identification of the live performance, and (b) a date of the live performance,
- the identification document, and identification and date of the live performance in steps (i) and (ii) being provided in accordance with a federal record-keeping requirement,
- (iii) associating by the computer system the information provided in steps (i) and (ii) by storing the information pertaining to the performer and the information pertaining to the performance as one or more records that are segregated from all other records, do not contain any other records, and are not contained within any other record, and
- (iv) transmitting the live performance by a computer system over a network not prior to completion of step (iii).
