Chris,

IF Rent-a-Mailbox Hollywood is actually acting as your custodian of records, meaning that they actually hold your records, in a file cabinet separate from any other business records, and they have full cross-reference on file to every URL where one of your explicit images appears as required in the regulations, and the named custodian who is responsible for the records actually maintains an office at the location, then you are in compliance with 2257.

If not, you are not in compliance with the law, and if your attorney told you that you are, you should get another attorney. Since it is a 5 year jail sentence for failure to comply, it's not something I'd want to fuck around with.

A civil attorney is not what you want. You really want someone who *specializes* in adult industry and First Amendment issues. (By "specialize", I mean the majority of his/her clients are adult industry people and the majority of his/her billings are in adult-related issues, not someone who claims they are knowledgeable.) This is an exceptionally complex area of law that very, very few attorneys understand, even though there are many that claim they do, and they give terrible advice in the process. You wouldn't believe the things I've heard people say their attorneys told them were OK. And while it's nice to say that your attorney will "gladly go after any official," I hope you realize that is a $100,000 proposition (if you're talking about the Feds, the only people likely to care), and that's if you win the first round.

On the subject of your site, I would strongly suggest adding lots of underwear play, suggestive images/poses/videos of you playing with your dick while wearing the underwear... that is a HUGE fetish that is terribly underserved. Marketed properly, it should do well. Keep the j/o stuff for sure, that way you can sell to both the underwear fetish audience and still have something for the guys who like the idea of a self-run solo site.

Also, if you're seriously seeking affiliates, you really need to pony up the $750 and get your Visa approval with CCBill. Affiliates will not be happy with a join page that offers a biller for whom they don't get credit for traffic they send, nor will they be happy with a biller that doesn't accept Visa. The last statistic I heard was that Visa was something like 60-65% of all adult industry purchases, so you are undoubtedly losing sales by not being able to accept it. I realize the $750 is a stiff price and you may not be able to justify it right now, but it's definitely something to think about. If you're focusing on direct traffic, then it's less of an issue for the moment.

Good luck, I think if you put in some effort, you should be able to have something that does pretty well for you.
