Even if it isn't child porn, there's still the community standards
issue, which I mentioned. I've seen several cases where someone in one
area is sued or charged by people in another area far away for
publishing material considered obscene. I *did* include that! ;-)
I also doubt anyone with any kind of legal business agreement would
allow soft porn to have any connection to that, since it could fall
back on them as the suppliers of content.

I've heard of similar situations where the person didn't get off so
easily. There's a case still going through the courts where a teacher
didn't know about the porn in pop-ups and was charged with contributing
to the delinquency of minors even though he had no control over the
situation.
Another point to consider: Where is the porn coming from? Are the
models professionals, or is it voyeuristic, with shots of people that
don't know they're being recorded? Is it "spring break" shots of girls
that will later be ashamed that they were drunk, flashed a camera, then
found they'd be on the Internet where anyone could see them and even
show the pics to her parents? Were they paying cheap and doing
whatever they could to get college girls to perform on camera because
they were in desperate need of money? In other words, is there a
chance he could be making money from someone else's misery? If so, how
would he feel if he found out that there was a movie on his site of a
young 18 year old girl who didn't know her boyfriend was taping her
until someone showed the movie or pics to her parents or members of her
church?
