Legal Question in Business Law in California

My Questions ?

Hi there,

Im glad i stumbled upon this site. It seems very useful for certain people. Anyway I have a few questions regarding my xxx site that im going to host at my house. I dont know where i can find these answers from besides here, so i hope u guys can help me out as much as possible to your ability.

Is there a required age to host a porn site ? im 18

Do I have to get a permit or a business license to host a xxx site ?

How would I go about having females taking pictures for my site?

Can they take the pictures at their own will and then I just pay them ? OR

Would I have to have them sign any papers? For instance a waiver ? a contract ? and of course I know they must be 18 and up right?

Well that's all i had to ask, I've been searching the web containing laws about hosting a xxx site 4ever and have not found any answers. So I don't expect you to answer all the questions. THANKS ALOT ! ! !

Re: My Questions ?

As far as the "girls" are concerned you're going to want a written agreement and release of rights. Under Federal law you are required to have proof of age and a custodian of these reords must be appointed. A statement verifying this must be posted on your website. There are also laws regarding access by minors and content. You may or may not "need" a business license depending on what you actually do at your home according to the rules in your city or county.
