My question involves criminal law for the state of: California I am thinking of starting a non-commercial website where users can post adult photos. It will be a free website. what laws do I have to follow? I was reading about the 18 U.S.C. 2257 Record-Keeping Requirements, but i'm not sure if this law would apply to my site because my site is going to be non-commercial. and if i buy an adult photo from a commercial adult photo site, and put that photo on my website, will the 18 U.S.C. 2257 apply to me? are there any other laws?
