Legal Question in Technology Law in Illinois

Adult web sites

I would like to start a adult web site with nudity and adult content. I would like to know are there any legal issues I need to know about before I open my site? do I need to get some Kind of License copyright or anything I should know before I put up my adult images. Is it illegal to have an adult web site in Illinois? Is there certain steps I need to go through before putting my site up?

Thank you very much......

Re: Adult web sites

Some issues to consider:

1. Anti-pornography laws

2. Trademark registrations - yours to protect you, clearance to avoid conflicts with others and proper usage guidelines.

3. Copyright - yours to help protect against mass copying; clearances and releases to help protect you against infringement claims

4. Federal laws regarding limiting access to adults.

Call or email if you need help on any of these and are willing to pay for the help.
