Since you want to know about the legal angle, I suggest you ask tuxfan for his advice.

I guess you could do it on a white-label basis?

 

[harryneopotter]

white label ???? wats that ... i am noob ... plz care to explain !!

 

[Ph4x0r]

what kinda template you want..

 

[QwertyManiac]

white label ???? wats that ... i am noob ... plz care to explain !!

Its literal! A white label means you don't put your name on it, you design and hand it over with no credits at all a.k.a. white label where they put in their own name. Your job is only to design and hand-over.

what kinda template you want..

No. AFAIK, its not legal. Its not even legal to produce, or help produce content for a porn site, let alone hosting it (in India).

I am not sure about how legal it is to *help* creating such a site (as opposed to help creating the content). Developing a site for your client, to me, seems like non-content related, but as soon as you start maintaining his site, you are indirectly assisting him with editing and uploading lewd content, which is unlawful.

Edit: I do not have any source for the above 2 points. Thats just what I've heard.

But you can dig more at wikipedia:

Whoever publishes or transmits or causes to be published in the electronic form, any material which is lascivious or appeal to the prurient interest or if its effect is such as to tend to deprave and corrupt persons who are likely, having regard to all relevant circumstances, to read, see or hear the matter contained or embodied in it, shall be punished on first conviction with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to five years and with fine which may extend to one lakh rupees and in the event of a second or subsequent conviction with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years and also with fine which may extend to two lakh rupees.

Dude frankly speaking there are always hidden sources/hidden links (Jugaad) behind P*RN sites running here in India.

Don't take risk at all. Just design the site layout and hand it to the guy. Don't even leave a single stray mark of your identity in the Site.

I repeat don't take risk otherwise you will be living some years in Jail as someone may file against you a DMCA complaint now or then

Rest it's all your personal opinion/ decisions

 

[Bandu]

^^^Thats exactly the reason I highlighted the *causes* part in my quote above. Designing the site might fall under the *causes* category. You never know. You will be assisting your clients business by creating the website, and thus you might be the *cause* in this case.

 

[mrintech]

I will say a BIG NO to this........................ Don't take risk otherwise all these SMILEYS of your's Will be gone and we will miss you for some years

 

[Zangetsu]

There r indian P***n sites (oops) made in india only but they r illegal...

moreover...if u make the project & get caught (who knows the police may trace this thread also 2 catch u...hehe ) will spend 10% of ur life in JAIL

then there ur client wont come 2 help u...so think atleast 100 times b4 trying ur hands on this..

Man, web designers can't help you in this matter when things don't go your way. You might end up with legal counsellings. Think again (and again) before you leap.
