However, warning pages are absolutely useless legally. You really need to have a click-thru contract instead of a mere warning page. Without the surfer taking an another affirmative step -- checking a box that says "I affirm under penalty of perjury blah blah blah" the contract isnt valid. The surfer needs to digitally sign the contract on your front page in order to be bound by its contents. I would also capture the surfer's IP address with the digital signature and log it properly in case they try to say they didnt sign it.

With that in mind I would also not allow people to deep link into your site and by pass the landing page.
Is it possible to show us an example that you recommend would work, as far as deep links...I think most webmasters want as many pages and links as possible..for SE to find.

I went to a seminar at the Exxxotica show that a lawyer gave and he said that when someone will take a snapshot of your website to see if it is obsene they will be looking at the page as a whole so you should have non-nude also listed, and he said if you just have a website with links...and no photos you should be okay from legal issues for the most part. Either way he said you should set up a corp. or LLC
