secondly:
Do you know if there is still a market for content (off the web)?
it would seem to me at this point that alot of U.S. shooters are going to be going back into the magazine game because of 2257!
Thirdly:
I do value your advice for you have made a total life and career of it (not as an unprofessional but a master)...............
So with that I would like to ask "hey paul if I got 100 chicks ready to get nasty on film and I got the 5k to invest could you help me out????

As has been pointed out you do need to talk to a lawyer when opening a new business or a new level/side to the business. This applies if your selling peanuts or porn and is elementary. Yes there are areas in the the World that shooting porn is illegal. People who do it risk getting a visit from the police and worse.
Don't know anyway around the law.
The market off the web varies from some very poor to very good. For most of these markets 2257 is more important than the Internet. If someone does not want to give out their home address on the Net, they can move to an office, shoot for others or go find another job. I fully support 2257 and think it should be tight to comply with. Being able to comply puts you in an elite and the law does not cost us surfers. Sorry but this is business not a social club.
Shooting for magazines is easy, getting them to buy is tough. You're up against shooters who do not quit when the going gets tough.
Getting chicks to perform in front of a camera is the easiest part of my job, getting $5,000 to buy simple equipment is the second easiest part of my job.
This is 2007 and more girls today will do solo girl and lesbian work than ever they would in 1997, 1987 or 1977. A video camera good enough for professional work today costs from $1,000 and up. Back in 1987 a Beta Cam camera was $50,000.
Hence the market is saturated with content shot by people who picked up a cheap camera and have access to girls. Simple facts of life.
