Hello, I'm thinking about starting a porn download forum like intporn. Basically, these forums link to all the mostly bootlegged porn off of other paysites and the links are to download services like filesonic. I notice there isn't much information out there on running these forums, so I'm wondering if I need to have certain agreements, etc. to protect myself from copyright issues?
please check your country rule first. if you are in a country that forbid porn. like in Indonesia. you will be jailed if you make a porn forum web in Indonesia.
Any pornography site will take a lot of heat from their hosting company, governments and vigilantes. However, if you dot all your i's and cross all your t's, your site can be very profitable. My clients who run porn sites take painstaking care that everything they do is 100% legal. I would advise anyone going into the adult site business to work closely with their attorney before turning their site on.
The only agreement you can have to protect you from copyright infringement would be to license the rights to what you want to distribute (license from the copyright holder).
