Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Re: Legal issues with pornagraphic industry in nj

Joe,

There are numerous issues to consider. Is your online business solely to show adult-oriented content, or will you be physically shipping any adult products? If you plan on having adult content, will you be producing the material yourself, or licensing it from third parties? If you are self-producing, how will you be soliciting the talent?

There are also very specific federal record-keeping requirements regarding the identification of any actors in your content.

My practice represents many folks in the adult entertainment business and I'd be happy to chat with you. Starting an adult website is a significant undertaking, and not adhering to applicable laws and regulations can end you up in jail.

First, you should consider NOT locating in NJ. Because of Gov. Corzine's Sales Tax law changes, Information Services are now subject to NJ Sales and Use Tax. There are very few guidelines on what is included as an Information Service, but there is no reason to take the risk.

You will need to establish a Limited Liability Company to protect your personal assets. You will also need contracts with the performers and models and agreements with end users.

Frankly, there are no "magic forms." Rather, you need representation to fit the specific needs of your business.

I hope this helps!
