On password-protecting fic
Sep. 27th, 2004 12:48 pmThis issue comes up every now and then, and I want to know if anyone can answer this question:
If I own a web page on which I post my NC-17 fan fiction, clearly labeled as adult-oriented material, am I legally obligated to actively prevent minors from accessing that material? That is, if I know someone who's 16 is reading my fic, am I legally required to do something to prevent them from having access to it?
( Cut for my opinion, which you should feel free to ignore )
Well, now that I've got that off my chest, what do you think? In particular, if anyone knows what the law is on this, could you advise me? Point me to documentation, even? Thanks in advance.

belleweather has posted an essay explaining the legal stuff I'm wondering about. Very interesting!
