Not sure about Indiana. The majority of conservative/Midwest states will not even let you photograph an erect penis. I know a couple photographers that say they have nearly gotten themselves into legal trouble simply by taking 'budoir' photos of clients.

You should be able to, depending what codec you use to save the movie will be what impacts who can and can't view it though.\n\nedit:  I thought you meant a website that had software for making movies.  The best is limewire, but you need to reset your router each time you log in to change your IP or youll get traced.  There are private servers too that have movies.\n\nI know of a private hotline server that has a ton of free movies, but I dont want to post the link and have the guys bandwidth bill shoot up.  Youll have to email me for that and cant give it out

There aren't really any laws on the internet.  Even if it is copyrighted content, the person streaming the media is the one at fault, not the person watching it.\n\nYou're fine.

No, it isn't legal to post any copywrited videos of any kind, but like everything else on the internet, the status of legal or illegal really doesn't matter.

Make sure all the models are over 18 and consented to the use of their images on your video.  Also make sure that if you do sell it, you don't call it anything resembling GGW.\n\nbtw, it won't be a copyright violation unless you actually use GGW footage -- you cannot copyright the idea of filming scantily clad models disrobing and playing w/themselves.

Good questions:\n\n1/  Is it ART or PORN? ...in which case if the subject is a minor as per the law, the material cannot be sold/viewed for entertainment purposes? I think the value of the material must transcend sheer titilation and have "artistic" merit....but who decides that? One man's art is another's porn.....Interesting...\n\n2/  Progression of time rendering the applicable nature of the law useless....I don't think this would motivate many distributors/models though since the aim of the biz is to make a quick buck. But it's an interesting question.....\n\nLike how you think...

It's legal for a business to record anything in the office, video or audio. With the exception of the bathroom, and even then they might be able to get away with it. \n\nIt isn't however, advisable for you to carry your own recording device into the office.

I think it is illegal to send across State lines in the USA. There was a case where a person sent pornographic images to another person here in Tennessee from another state. The person was arrested there. This was not child porno but the person that sent it was a entity. A company. so for individuals it may not be the case. Sorry I can not be of any help just my thoughts only.

First, I won't go into the legality of downloading movies. There are copyright laws in the US that would make downloading movies a crime. Actually, I don't know if it's the act of DOWNLOADING or the act of UPLOADING or MAKING AVAILABLE that is illegal. I would think the later.\n\nAnyway, you can find tons of movies at various BitTorrent sites. I use these as a few to find certain TV shows...\n\nhttp://www.torrentspy.com/\nhttp://isohunt.com/\nhttp://isohunt.com/\nhttp://thepiratebay.org/\n\nYou'll need a BitTorrent client to download these files. I use Azureus, which seems to be about the best. You can find it for free, here....\n\nhttp://azureus.sourceforge.net/\n\nFinally, there are pay sites that make promises that I cannot attest to, because I have never used them, but they might be worth a look. Here are a few...\n\nhttp://watersaffl.pspblend.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS\nhttp://watersaffl.movies01.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS\nhttp://watersaffl.sharedm.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS\nhttp://watersaffl.tvorg.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS\nhttp://watersaffl.flynetwork.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS\n\nThat ought to do you for a while. Good luck.

In the old days, you had to "work" for a company who would pay you a fixed price and maybe royalties (if you're lucky) for a video.  Now video and photographic equipment is so cheap that just about anyone can afford to go into this industry as a producer.  The hardest part will be finding "employees" to work with.  After that, it is also difficult to sell your products because there is so much competition.  Consider a niche market that isn't just plain-old sex and also isn't so weird as to scare customers away.  Also, many parts of the country make it illegal to produce and sell porn.  Make sure it's legal in your jurisdiction or you could lose your shirt (excuse the pun)!

Yes. I'm a retired cop, turned attorney in Indiana. I had a man once walking around his backyard naked. He also had a privacy fence around his house, but could still be seen by the neighbors. By the time I got there he was playing with himself as he walked around the yard (I could see him between the fence cracks!). \n\nAbout that time he wlaked into his house, and we knocked on the front door. He came to the front door wearing a pair of shorts, and all sweaty. We arrested him for public indeceny. He was found guilty (free police advice).\n\nIf you have no chance of being seen then there should be no problem. However, if the neighbors have a chance of seeing you I wouldn't recommend it as you can be arrested (attorney advice-$200.00) I'll be waiting for payment... :)\n\nPublic indecency is usually charged as a misdemeanor, but dependeding on the circumstances it could be charged as a felony (if your doing things in front of children).

If it is legally obscene (most porn is not obscene) they cannot, and if they are at a computer without folders or small walls around the monitors, they could be sued for sexual harassment. If the man is in a childrens' section, he could be moved to an alternative computer in a more private area.\n\nBut if it is a public, government library, the government cannot tell people what legal material they can and cannot look at or read. Many states and local governments or the libraries themselves will create rules restricting adult material in libraries, but these rules are quickly and easily overturned in the courts. If you are arrested for doing so, you will be released without punishment and if you are asked to leave you can sue the library.\n\nIn an interesting story, last month a couple of Homeland Security officers didn't know the law, and tried to kick out a man who was looking at porn at the library. The local police knew what the laws are and escorted the HS officers out of the building!

That's piracy if you're copying rented movies.  I would find something slightly more legal if I were you.

I live in Utah and we have two chains that offer heavily edited movies, making them all G or PG rated, no matter what the original rating was.\n\nOne place is called "Clean Flix" and the other is "Feature Films for Families."\n\nSince this the Mormon capital of the world, these places are extremely popular here; I'm not sure if you can find them in every state, but there are websites that offer edited movies for purchase online. "CleanFlicks" is the most popular.\n\n:o)

Copyrighted movies: you cannot legally do this.\n\nYou can purchase some downloadable films via Google's new video service, Apple's iTunes store and various other palces.\n\nwww.ifilms.com allow you to watch amateur videos.\n\nBut I belive the intent of your question was more how to DL major motion pictures and that is illegal and cannot be answered here at Yahoo.

OK, guys.... The answer is that pornography is a business, licensed by the state and they pay taxes.... It follows the film industry guidelines making it legal..... \nProstitution is not permitted except in 16 counties in Nevada where it is a licensed business just like any other retail store.  I am not joking here.. \nIn Clark County Nevada, Las Vegas, prostitution is illegal therefore you can't get a business license and you don't pay taxes.  \nIt is economics people...... \nNow, the difference between porno and hookers.... Not much except as a general rule, the porn stars are a little better groomed and cared for.  They make the producer's very rich so they are treated much better than the hookers on the street.  \nPorn stars also get W-4 forms at the end of year to pay taxes on their earnings just like anyone else.  Hookers, no....
