Getting Started
 

Well, after a few months of lurking and reading as much as I can, I've decided to take the plunge and make my first post. Hi, how are you? That's nice, go fuck yourself.

With that out of the way, I'll jump right in to my first question. I'm trying to find a good source of information regarding the law regarding porn sites. Most likely, I'll start with a TGP on a paid host. I'll probably go with CandidHosting (at Florida NAP, in Florida) to start with, they have an attractive collocation price, which is something I'd definitely like to do when the site can support it. I'm unclear on how the law works though. For example, I live in Kansas. Are there state laws which would prevent me from being the webmaster of an adult site, even if the site is actually hosted in Florida where such things are apparently perfectly legal?

I've done a lot of searching on this, but most sites I've found dealing with porn laws are written in lawyer speak, or don't answer my question. Is there a resource that breaks down the law by state, or is there an easy answer to this question? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

At least one person has told me that I should just start doing an adult site because nobody pays attention to such laws. I would like to do this right, or not do it at all, so I'm starting with the legality of it before moving on. I'm not looking for a quick buck, and I'm not looking to cheat or fuck anybody. Rather, I'd like to build a site that looks nice and works nice, something which seems to be extremely rare in the TGP world, and with adult sites in general.

Again, thanks for any help or advice you may have to offer. I've considered contacting a lawyer about this, but that seems like overkill to a question as seemingly simple as this one.

Rather than spam you with my first post, I'll leave you with some humor instead. Okay, maybe I'm just cruel, but I laughed my ass off because I've been there. http://www.supraforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10853&highlight=%2Abimm er%2A

I have one word for ya "Goats", get lots and lots of goats. They work GREAT for bribbing people to keep your ass on the safe side of the tracks, he he.

As far as your question about legallity of being a webmaster, I'm sorry, but I can't help ya there. I never even checked the laws in my state, hopefully I'm legal, he he he. Just don't go running up and down the streets in your town yelling "I'm a porn webmaster" and you should be ok, he he.

Oh yeah, one more thing ! GO FUCK YOURSELF !!! Welcome to the board. Hopefully someone else can add some good info for ya.

Hey Jason - Go Fuck Yourself !!

Now, I live in North Carolina which has some of the most bass ackward laws concerning sexuality and obscenity etc.... I don't know of the specifics of internet in this or any other state or even how it applies. One thing I can tell you is that I am incorporated here in N.C. and run my business with no worries cuz I know I'm within the boundries of national laws (i.e. kiddie shit, beast, etc..) and if I can do it here it should be OK anywhere.

Thank you for the advice so far, I appreciate it. The sarcasm is well... predictable, but that's okay.

There sure is a lot of information on the Internet about this topic without many solid answers. Hmmm.

Go with the Goats...

Be the Goat....

Ride the goat..

Love the Goat..

Yay, the goat joke. Now all I'm missing is the jesus joke.

Those guys are all in Vegas.

Wasn't there also a "hobbit" joke as well?
Heard it started in Portland last year...???

First we need to give you a snappier handle/nickname...

you don't want to be using your real name with these guys..they'll be ordering pizzas in your name, making crank calls to orphanages on your behalf, etc.

I'd suggest something that goes with your personality....and you likes, dislikes and attitude....

It should also be something that looks cool on a show badge and slightly freaks out the woman making the badges (likely a senior citizen temp that'll freak the first time she has to witness a cracked out porn starlet suck off her boyfriend/pimp's scar riddled fuckstick)...

I humbly submit Y-Cant I-Reed as your new nickname...

any other suggestions from the peanut gallery?

Your content is subject to the laws in the jurisdictions in which it appears. In other words, every state in the union and every country in the world. Now, while it's unlikely (but who knows?) the US government would extradite you to Saudi Arabia to have some body part chopped off, with John Ash***** as Attorney General, who can really say? Anyway, if some mom in Muddy Butt, Mississippi finds 13 year old Johnny in your ass-fucking site and complains to the local prosecutor, you could find yourself in front of a cornpone judge in no time.

If you're unsure and a bit apprehensive, the best thing to do is just not put anything hardcore on your site. Use softcore stuff perhaps and let the sponsors take care of the hardcore stuff.
Just a thought......

Your best bet with regards to legal/illegal is to treat thislike a real business...that means you should have a good attorney and a good bookkeeper...my attorney and bookkeeper are worth their weight in gold, they keep me legal, up to date and running like a "real business"

Hi Jason, Welcome to the Board and Go Fuck Yourself...

that said, you seem to be too wary of what's legal and what isn't, you'd try to do some research on AVS, that way, you'r ass would be covered in most senses and places, since you are asking for proof of age.

I'm sure you'll stay out of the shady areas of adult webmastering, and with AVS you can't really go wrong...
