– some areas in the Midwest and South age limit was 19 or 17 years of age.
I was one of the first adult websites to sell soft goods and VHS video tapes. Rather than list all the locations I just had one button that said Must be 21 years of age to enter.

I moved my server overseas, lets assume just for fun where my server is located people must be age 16 or over to access the website. If someone orders a VHS tape/DVD and I ship the video to a minor I am at fault. Is this where the virtual age mentioned above comes into play, and since the message was thru Facebook will server location effect the decision?

Can you suggest a good source for Adult Webmasters to find legal information, free searchable.
