3. and do all this without having to go through the usual process in the uk..
4. where would i start?

Thanks.... asking alot i know... but just really think my materials are good enough to stand out from the rest

Answer
Nikki,

Are you asking how to do this in the UK?  If so, I am not an expert on UK law.  If you are looking for help on doing these things in the U.S., then there are several steps and considerations I would need to walk you though (and it is far too involved to discuss in this forum) - if you'd like, you can contact me directly at www.adultwebsitelawyer.com.
