[thelist] Internet Nudity Laws

[aardvark]

david and paul, y'all owe <tip>s... i don't fault you for those
responses, however, you just owe...

gary, you should check locally to see what statutes that club faces
in its zone...  i've seen zoning restrictions applied to sites... for
instance, does the zoning allow wet-t-shirt contests?  and if so,
under what restrictions (not in public, age check, etc.)?

as a baseline, start there... using the examples above, the web
could be considered public, so require some hoops to get to the
info, ask ages, etc...

and then fly it by a lawyer friend if you are concerned...

you could also push the responsibility back on the club owner and
ask them for direction and to sign papers waiving you of all
responsibility so they can't come after you for asking you to do it...
after all, they should be the experts on the legality for that issue...
