    Oh no...you know my deep dark secret. lol.

    anyway, let's not get off topic. It is legal, as long as there is no nudity (as in exposed breasts, no pants, whatever) it's illegal. Think of it this way. If you think the content would not be approporiate for you to watch, then it means you should put it up there. Think youtube.

    That's what I'm doing. I'm just linking to videos on YouTube, not actually hosting them. Lets say I link to a video on YouTube, where eventually a girl takes off her bra, is that still illegal? even though I'm not hosting the video?

    There are tons of "sexy" videos on YouTube, some even more than a year old.

    I think it's just the full nude/intercourse ones that they actually remove.

    So in germany .. there are two main categories in po*n things.

    If there are no pics where the genital area is shown, you are allowed to visit the site if you are at least 16 yrs old. If you want to watch real po*n you have to be 18 , and i think its understood that you have to be at least 18 , if you wanna administrate a po*n site!

    Ultimately, since morality is entirely relative, you decide if it is ok, not the people on this forum and certainly not your government. On the other hand a legitimate question is "Could I ever get in trouble" for doing this. The answer is no, because what you are doing is legal. You would also never get in trouble for hosting an online porn site, because it's so hard to track that sort of thing, it's so easy to hide behind some fake information and ultimately, no one cares.

    YOUR MOM.

    These jokes are a commodity humor, now. They've migrated from kiddy joke to nothing, and now it's all about the intellectual humor.

    Back to the main subject, if the content is mild, as you are suggesting due to the fact of linking it from youtube, you shouldn't have any problems, although if you where to carry out a site with more mature content I wouldn't bother at your age.

    I think you shouldn't make that site. It will make you into badboy, I'm 15 and if I'm 18 or more age. I won't make a site like that. But nobody can't know future so it defend in you

    Yeah Skribblez, it will make you into a 'very bad boy' lol. As long as it's not porn, and is something from youtube, it will be fine, though I would check withadsense if you are gonna do that, with their whole "adult" sites, they could count your's as one.

    because he's underage lol...

    And about the comment saying that you dont have to worry about US law if youre in Australia... this is a blurry subject and no one really knows how national laws apply to the internet (even if the server is not in the state to which the laws apply). There have been legal cases both ways..

    I don't think that you would get into any trouble for creating porn sites if you are a minor (as long as you dont star in it)... only for distributing it to other minors I think.

    I agree! Your very mature so go for it-but use common sense and don't go totally nude. I think your still to young for that. JMHO

    Thanks for all the replies so far. I just went ahead and created the forum. For now I've created all the sections, but will wait a bit for more replies before I actually go on to advertise, etc.

    The videos will be hosted on YouTube, well most of them. The rest of the videos will be hosted on other free video hosting/sharing sites.
