    Default Hiring Somebody to Produce Pornography For You

    There is a site that that allows users to request adult models to create custom videos for them. Is this legal?

    I'm thinking about joining but I thought it'd be better to double check the law first. My big gripe is, could I possibly be labeled as producer under 18 U.S.C 2256 and 18 U.S.C 2257? Technically a producer is the person who does the actual recording so undoubtedly the performer would be a producer and I would just be getting a download link sent through the site. But.....i read a small sentence in 2256 said that producing also includes "directing."

    The site itself says that copyright belongs to the original creator (which is good) so I can't be labeled as a person trying to sell/distribute. Can I be labeled as a director though and subsequently as producer since I would technically be giving the model specific instructions in making the video? I would appreciate any advice, thanks in advance.

    I think this is a form of spam but I just can't resist. If you buy a book and ask that it be giftwrapped, are you a publisher? Of course not. You are buying a product from this website. What is legal or not depends on many things, the age of the actors, your age, where the filming is done (country and if US, the state). So if you give someone instructions as to what you want and they produce a video for you that doesn't make you a producer or director.

    Like put lots of buttergoop on my popcorn. I need to go wash out my brain with soap now. Be back later.

    Meh I think I'm better off just avoiding the site. Save whatever shreds of my dignity are left. If a moderator likes they can close this thread. Apologies if porn-related stuff isn't allowed on this site, mods can close this thread if they like.

    And just to be clear this site is very well known and only allows verified adults to join. They keep records of all their models and whatnot and they told me that buying custom videos is completely legal this evening. Regardless, thanks for the input budwad. I think I'm going to wash my brain out with some soap too, maybe find some morals along the way instead of throwing money at these women.
