How about living off-shore but having a U.S hosting account?
Frankly it's a lot simpler to be hosted outside the US. Don't get the idea that "offshore hosting" is a necessity - there are plently hosts in the world and the majority of countries have no problems or care about USC 2257. Common sense prevails on the age thing.

Actually living offshore is the "ultimate" deal and probably the only true "legal" way. Tho, for people with US citzenship - there are plently implications in the background. If ya are not a citizen of the US, Lybia or Saudi, - there are no problems in that all other countries offer "freedom" to their citizens to do what the fuck they like with their lives.

Again.. living offshore and hosting in the US does not make any difference to the legality - ya still got to abide by the laws of the country where your host is based. Tho I'd like to see any US authority try and prosecute an offshore corp for something like a violation of 2257 :-)
