Then, personally, I don't think people with kids have any business starring in porn, but that's just my opinion. It's one thing to work in the business and quite another to be the content. What happens when the kids grow up and their friends show them their mom's porn site? Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but if I'd ever seen pics or videos of my mom having sex... well, I don't even want to think about it.

Even if the family is open with their kids about sex and it doesn't really shock the kids that much to find out, what do they do when their friends at school, who will find it much more amusing and far less normal, start taunting them?

Tell me something man? if ya was a payed hit man, and you went out everyday and took care of a few contracts, like it was nothing. Then went home to your wife and kids and a bucket of maybe some KFC chicken.
it's all good? right? as long has ya didn't kill anyone in the house near the kids, right?

This is a American creation of thought, we grew up in generations that are taught pornography is wrong and is bad.
Even Pete the Porno Puppet tells are youths
"Say noo to pornaaaaaaaaaaaaagraphy"

As if pornaaaagraphy was like saying nooo to drugs "fuckin' retards"

Sex is not a sin theres nothing illegal about it, it just needs to be controlled like everything else in this country, Because Americans can't seem to learn to control things of mental or physical pleasure for them selfs, they need big brother to tell them "how much is enough!" and when to say say "no!"

Americans don't think for them selfs anymore, they have a government that does it for them now, Oh ya that reminds me...

I dont think if you have kids you should be operating a porn business in the house.If your not making enough money to afford an office,then find another line of work.Offices are also dirt cheap and offer so much protection.I pay $285 a month for mine and that includes high speed,its not fancy but it does the job.

They are going to start 2257 checks outside of CA in august it looks like.They show up and say the local police decide to join them for the ride which they can do according to the regs.They see kids there,the kids are going.
Now Im not talking about affiliates, im talking about producing porn.
The zoning thing in this case is bullshit, adult zoning doesnt come into play unless you have customers coming in to your place of business like a video store.

The sad thing is if they were in Lexington this probably wouldn't of happened.

Yes, I read that too. And I also read where they'll be sticking to inspecting video production companies in order to avoid checking info for the same model more than once.

Personally, I think any inspections of "the little guys" are a long way off yet, if ever.

My point being that the local Gestapo are still the ones to avoid. The odds of the Fed's showing up is extremely slim.

I think the lessons to be learned here, if not able to have an outside the home office/studio, is to be extremely discreet about giving out any personal information. Never use your home address for anything site related. Get a postal box for all snail mail correspondence. Also, a convincing cover story for the neighbors about what you do for a living is a must, as well as a plan for how to deal with any that do find your site on their own.

Just my 12½¢ worth.

Yes, well worth the money for independent amateurs.

your right but still have to have a valid address for 2257 or your in violation.One way to cut down on the bullshit is to make that info a gif instead of text.Dont have to worry about google picking it up.To assume they will never knock on your door isnt a smart move. Your right there is 99.8 chance you will never hear from anyone but if your not prepared that.2 can be a real motherfucker.

Maybe in your mind it doesn't come into play, but obviously in the mind of the Ft. Mitchell police and a Kenton county judge it does. That is exactly what the warrant was issued based on! And based on the fact that they can interpret it to apply to a website, they could easily extend that to an affiliate posting the same content on his/her website. The zoning is not about producing it is about "distributing" and making money directly or indirectly (under their interpretation).

They ARE doing checks outside CA
They did one here in PA earlier this year. I talked to the guy, and there was a story in AVNOnline, a very fine publication.
