Adult Entertainment and Censorship Lawyers
ChaseLawyers℠ provides legal counsel and representation to the adult entertainment industry in South Florida and beyond, including websites, adult filmmakers, adult-oriented social networking sites, and live performance businesses such as exotic dance clubs.
The adult entertainment industry is in constant flux between obscenity statutes and First Amendment rights. Mr. Chase counsels clients on maintaining legal standing by complying with regulations. For instance, 18 U.S.C. §2257 requires adult websites to keep extensive records verifying that all models portrayed are at least 18 years of age. Meeting this requirement requires great care and attention to technical detail. Our adult entertainment censorship attorneys also represent clients in:
- Trademark and copyright infringement
- Censorship, obscenity law, and freedom of expression matters, including legal action against overzealous anti-free expression organizations
- E-commerce fraud allegations
- Negotiation and enforcement of web design and web hosting agreements
- Drafting of contractual language for website "Terms-of-Use" and "Privacy Policies"
ChaseLawyers℠ can provide a "one-stop shop" for entrepreneurs who are starting an online adult website. Mr. Chase advises on incorporating the enterprise, registering URLs, model release forms, compliance with federal, state and local laws and other aspects of starting and running an Internet-based business.
