Hello, a Microstock group newbie here (although i've been selling stock animation for the past 4 years).

So i have a question regarding stock sales bookkeeping that my bookkeeper keeps on bugging me about.
He says he needs to know the country of origin for each buyer of an individual clip. I'm pretty sure he doesn't need this information,
and luckily most sites don't even provide it (except for getty as far as i know). But im having some trouble getting him to accept this since i
cannot explain him how this construction works. I don't get much further than saying that the stock agencies (all US based) are the only
relevant legal/financial entity we have to deal with.

Is there anybody here that can explain to me in somewhat legal terms why this information is not required for running a proper microstock bookkeeping?

Any help is much appreciated!
