But then what if you go to a site and where you live you have to be 21 but the site says 18, it would still be illlegal for you. Wouldn't it? So does that mean the owner/webmaster has to put it at the highest age for it to be legal?

Most adult sites specify in their terms of service that YOU must be of the appropriate legal age in the state in which you live, and that by accepting those terms you state undeniably that you are.

LOL.
While I could take that as an insult, I won't. In my previous job I was required to understand this because our company would be providing internet access, for a fee, to hotel guests.

I'm giving it as a compliment. Porn is the future! I mean seriously, who doesn't look at porn besides most girls (not bein sexist it just seems to be true!) and pastors/fathers/priests or whatever?! People who run porn sites are rich lil bastards -_-

LOL again.

I remember, when I was younger, a Marketing professor told the story of why VHS really beat Betamax....

The people at JVC gave free equipment to some "adult entertainment producers" which resulted in a lot of that stuff being available on video... but only in VHS format....

Bahh. Porn.. Not a problem making money on it if you know what to do..

That and gambling is the easy ones. You just have to know how to market yourself...
I know a couple of guys who were in the adult business earlier. Gave them a good amount of money... Without any real investment..
The only issue is to get the payment if you have a pay2"play" site..
And FRAUD is a real big issue if you have a pay2"play" site....

For example 2checkout.com does not allow adult sites to use their services...

But i know of a few sites on the net who actually gets you evrything except the domain... Pictures, Videos, PaymentProccessers.. But that goes with you getting a percentage of each signup..

Hmm. This is getting OT.

Actually I was just curious, I don't own any porn sites... LOL
I want to use a dedicated server for webhosting. I actually have a few older sites that I will probably bring back online once the dedicated is up. I just have to wait until I get paid to transfer some money over to my VISA. See you guys when I am signed up
