What are the Internet Laws for Adult Porn material?

I think it is illegal to send across State lines in the USA. There was a case where a person sent pornographic images to another person here in Tennessee from another state. The person was arrested there. This was not child porno but the person that sent it was a entity. A company. so for individuals it may not be the case. Sorry I can not be of any help just my thoughts only.

Depending on what search engine you are using there is usually a 'safe search' option - this will block adult content from showing in the search results. It can be permanatly turned on - just log in to save the settings

providing that none of the porn is illegal in nature (underage, or unconsentually placed on said website).. this is entirely up to your host..\n\nmany site hosts such as angelfire, tripod.. etc.. have policies and because you are hosting on their server, have the right to shut down said website for violations.. \n\nread the terms of use on your host for further details.. \n\ni agree with the first response.. but since you asked a legitamate question i am giving you a legitamate answer.. and withholding my opinion..

Pornography is legal, as long as it does not depict children engaging in sexual activity.

I'm assuming you are talking about child pornography.  If that is the case, contact your local or district prosecuting attorney's office.  They should have a division that deals with cyber crimes.\n\nThey will point you in the right direction there.  You would not prosecute them, the state would.

Make a pornography site.

No, not outlawed, but regulated as it currently is. Pornography is a personal choice, just like Drug Use and Prostitution. People who view porn usually do it in the privacy of their own homes, harming no one. People who produce it are making huge profits and paying huge taxes on the sale and distribution of it. The major Hotel chains are making a mint from it by offering it on their in-house closed circuit TV as pay per view to hotel guests. The number one thing searched for on the Internet is porn. \n\nTo your second question, that is for individuals,  parents and each person to decide for themselves. Proper supervision, proper education, and a healthy discussion of what it is are a requirement for each child to learn. My morals are not damaged because someone else looks at it. I am bright enough to change the channel. I do not need someone else making my entertainment decisions for me. \n\nI believe that the primary thing that anyone who looks at it should realize it that the actors are just that...Actors...making a choice on how they want to make a living. The women are not forced into it and they are generally better looking than average, the men are usually far above average in the physical endowment area. After all, who wants to look at the girl who wore glasses and was still in a training bra in the 12th grade, and what porn director will hire the average schmuck with the average schmeckle when he can hire a buff and hung stud for the same price. (OK, there are a few who would watch that, but come on...LOL).  \n\nPorn should be legal, regulated and taxed.\nAlcohol should be legal, regulated and taxed.\nProstitution should be legal, regulated and taxed.\nRecreational Drug Use should be legal, regulated and taxed.\nTobacco use should be legal, regulated and taxed.\n\nAddictions and diseases contracted from consumption of any of the above should be paid for by the individual experiencing it, not through subsidies and insurance coverage. Nor should they be allowed to sue for bad outcomes or adverse experiences after making personal decisions to consume, participate, or experience any of the above\n\nStay out of my personal business, I'll stay out of your's. If it doesn't harm another person or damage another person's property or infringe on another person's rights....Get out of the way.

Legal obligations as far as what? If your building a website and dont know if its illegal to have what you putting on it the only one that would tell you that is the hosting company that is hosting the sites. Alot of time its standard things like no warez and no porn.

Just find a host that will allow adult content. You will need a good camera and a lot of bandwidth. But you will probably find it is harder to make money doing that than you think. There is so much porn to be found for free, why pay for it?

Expulsion.  If you're on a kiddee porn site there could be criminal penalties.

Depends on how much porn you need to be seeing (Law says age is a concern).  However, if of age, and not having your computer blocked, there are over 400,000,000 (that's millions of sex sites.  Go to most any and there are free down-loads, just click and save the images or short clips.  Type in 'sex' on your search-bar, enjoy.  Don't be upset when a site tosses you to an unrequested site; just move along.  Have a nice day.

Some good answers here.  I'll take a stab at it myself, though I don't know anything about the incidents other than what the original poster included in his question.\n\nFirst, we're talking about illegal pornography.  "Regular" porn, the kind that isn't illegal depending on whoever's standards we're using, isn't going to be subject to a search warrant because it isn't a crime...and search warrants can only be issued when they seek to provide evidence of a public offense (a crime).  So whatever porn we're talking about, it's evidently illegal according to whatever legal standard is being used (and this varies, but things like kiddy porn are illegal everywhere in the US).  Once the illegality has been established, then I don't think there's much left to talk about...you cannot hide behind a right to privacy if you are engaging in criminal behavior.  That's not to say you give up your right to privacy, it's to say that if you're engaging in criminal acts, the government has the right to ask a judge for a search warrant to gather evidence of those acts, and I would argue that you cannot complain about your privacy being "invaded" when they do.\n\nAnd a word about search warrants; they are not rubber-stamped documents that sail through the justice system to your front door.  Law enforcement agents must prepare an application for them, outlining reasons to believe a particular place holds evidence of a particular crime.  They must swear the things they've said in that document are true, and then they must present the document to a neutral party - a magistrate (or a judge).  That magistrate (or judge) then reviews the information provided by the agent, and decides on his/her own if there is a more than likely chance (i.e., "probable cause") that the things the agents are looking for are in the places the agents say they are.  Despite the rare news to the contrary, magistrates and law enforcement alike take this process seriously.\n\nAbout the "third party" argument made by the original poster: again - if you're engaging in criminal behavior, you cannot expect to hide behind the right to privacy just because you've given the evidence of your guilt to a third party.  The government has the right under our system of law to gather evidence of your criminal behavior, no matter where you have left it.\n\nIf you want to deliver evidence of your involvement in criminal acts to a third party, press on...and you do so at your own risk, obviously.  The original poster's comment is well taken; if your third party is going to comply with an order of a court to disclose certain information relative to criminal acts, then perhaps you need to find another third party - one who will become a criminal themselves if they fail to comply with a lawful court order.\n\nYahoo and Google have not betrayed anyone's trust...although it's been a while since I've seen them, I'm fairly certain both corporations have privacy policies, and I'm equally certain both of them talk about safeguarding your information except when ordered to release it pursuant to a court order.  If the third party thing bothers you, don't use a third party...there's a saying: "three can keep a secret, if two are dead."  \n\nDon't want anybody to know what you're doing?  Don't tell anybody.

Porn is determined by "community standards," so it depends on where you live. Metro Atlanta would probably have no restrictions other than those adopted as federal standards (child, animal, etc.)\n\nAdditional::\n\n"With the exception of child pornography, the legal status of Internet pornography is still somewhat unsettled. The legality of pornography has been traditionally determined by the Miller test, which dictates that community standards are to be used in determining whether a piece of material is obscene. Thus, if a local community determines a pornographic work to meet its standard for obscenity then it could be banned."\n\nSource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_Internet_pornography

Yes.  For Some sex offenders it is a violation of their parole / probation to be on the internet at all.  Some Hackers have also been banned from the internet.

If it's orginal content there would be no law against it in the US that I'm aware of and you would just have to be aware of the content laws in your country. Of course legal matters should be discussed with an attorney that knows something about this topic.
