Legal Question in Technology Law in Florida

I will do a buisness similar to www.backpage.com only cater to the adult market only. I will do online ads that people will post themselves so I will be covered under the "communications decency act"

also might do adult ads on television I need to know what my legal rights are if I advertise on TV with some of the models that put there ads on my web site. I was thinking maybe they can sine a paper that says they give me permission to use them as a model on the late night TV ads. I want to know where I stand legally. I want to hear from attorneys that are familair with the communications decency act and also Television media and the rules.
