    It is legal if content depicts images of adults having sex. Big tits, curves etc. When you get into small characters and flat chests I would ban that or not work with it.

    I have been told by lawyers and content owners if you apply 2257 rules to it you should be okay.

    That is if you follow 2257. If you are US based or hosted in US. Follow those guidelines in what you promote. People have been prosecuted in US for posting,sharing,trading content depicting illegal acts or non 2257 compliant acts in hentai.

        there is a lot to it. frankly, if you're concerned, get a lawyer.

        2257 for hentai is new to me, but i think this might be some reference to using characters like bart simpson. Generally the issue is what visa etc considers to be bestiality

              I know here in Australia any depiction of people under the age of 18 in any sexualised way is illegal. This extends to cartoons AND text.

                          We've been seeing one studio after another folding or being bought up by the few remaining big studios. Piracy has whacked them in the nuts too much. Have read board posts by folks in the business in Japan who say the return vs cost is diminishing rapidly.

                          Same issues facing anime people.

                            Cartoons of adult depictions are legal.

                            Cartoon depictions of minors or underage looking cartoons is considered CP.

                              Maybe i got something wrong, but how can a fictional character be 2257 compliant.

                              Does a fiction ID work for a fictional character?

                                  Hentai is legal, we have been leasing it for years now. Some billers in some cases will find some depictions objectionable, and in those cases may ask you to pull it down. However, 2257 only applies to living folks, and as good as some animation gets, they are not "real people". That said, different regions have their own rules about objectionable content, and that extends to a wide array of content types, not specifically animation. Contact me if you need help.

                                                I made up the last one, but the first three - that's true.
                                                Robots, alcoholic beverages, animals (even the painting of a horse hanging on a wall) or the term "abduction" (regardless the context) can be a problem also. So, i would not be surprised if three boobed women will be on the list one day.
