Don't trust your lawyers in Costa Rica!! :-) Over half of em are totally incompetent and the other half need it thrusting down their throats exactly what the scenario is and get on the phone and establish fact. (Tho this is common most places?)
There are definately laws regarding the production of porn - this is not new.
The law was enacted to stop pedos after a well publicised court case, but they also broaden it's scope to include all porn production.
In real life? :-) In the unfortunate and rare situation the law happens to walk in during the middle of a porn shoot, you have one option... Be nice and let em watch the shoot and if any suggestion comes up that this is an offense, - there are ways to cure that problem :-)
In practice, it is most unlikely - unless the talent talk too much locally - that it would ever reach the ears of the law.
If you are unfortunate enough to end up with a concientious officer, (I've never met one yet,) - then shit starts and you are immediately thrown in jail until such time as the OIJ (investigative arm of the law) decide to look at the file - that can take three months. Paperwork has a habit of being slow.
The other thing to watch for is leaving the country with digital material. It is very rare they check this, but this can open a can of worms. It has happened to others! :-)
