Question
Once I get my movie(s) pressed up who do I send a copy to so that they can be distributed nationwide ? Also how does my company get paid once this happens ? I am about to purchase a business license, copyright my business name, purchase domain names, and purchase a po box. Are there any laws in the state of Georgia that would prohibit the start of my company ? I just want to be successful, have longevity,and become a household name in the adult film industry. Thanks for all of your help and any other information that will help me launch my business.

Answer
Actually you have a major legal issue in the fact that the Production of Adult Material is ILLEGAL in the State of Georgia as it violates that State's prostitution and/or pandering Laws.

California is the ONLY place in the United States where productions of this type are actually legal. Adult film production is legal in California due to a precedent created by a 1988 decision of the California Supreme Court (California vs. Freeman). As a result of that decision, California became the FIRST AND ONLY state where a person can be legally hired to have sex for the purpose of making adult films. However, producers are still required to obtain permits before starting any such production. NO OTHER STATE HAS SUCH A PRECEDENT therefore production in any other State is, and will remain, ILLEGAL!
