Thanks you to those of you that have supported me on this board.

After meeting with are attorney today, we have realized the seriousness of what is happening in the adult industry. Not being informed by someone who knows the law is a mistake for everyone. No one knows the extent of the new laws that exist. This is why so many different opinions exist in this thread. If there were one law that covered everything in the adult industry we would all have the exact same answer.
Today was an eye opening experience, which will help me in the future of my business. I would suggest to those of you who want to protect yourself and your businesses, to become 100% 2257 compliant, first Get a First amendment attorney, a civil rights attorney, an entertainment attorney, and possibly good criminal attorney. Together they can help you make your business as secure as possible and cover all the aspects. And also look at all risks that that goes along with an adult based company, Get real facts not second hand facts like opinions.
After what I learned today I think you all should take a hard look at your own sites and also who’s on your sites. Check all your paper work on 2257. Check you’re zoning even if you just sit behind your pc. Check your Content it is very important. Make sure if you run a tgp site, hosting company, link lists. Adult dating sites, review sites, modeling sites,
Or if you are just a sole proprietor of your websites PLEASE CHECK YOUR CONTENT. Ask your lawyer to review the content before you post it on your site.
Remember that it might not be you they want, but someone else that they are trying to gather information about.
Sometimes they have to find out what your involvement is with the other person to make their case stick. Thank god for good lawyers that can prove that your involvement was only through purchasing a product or content from someone who may have something else going on. The question of my inventory of items that were taken .I will be getting them back and now can move on with a fully compliant site. This is a very expensive business to maintain. I can tell you one thing it was not prostitution or my content, but while they were here they decided to take items that could be considered contraband It stands to reason that they would have to take it all because it was unusual.
Again thank you all for the info and help.
