Please indulge me as a Newbie to the board.

I am looking to create a site, was originally thinking a Tube site but as I have read it seems that might not be the best site to build. But my first steps are understanding the dos and don't of this industry, what laws I need to make sure I do not violate (obvious Copyright laws, CP etc.) What is a good resource to know what the laws are for the State of Texas, what is the best way to obtain content (if I am not going to produce my own at first). The niche i am looking to cover is female webcam masturbation / girlfriend videos etc. either authenticly shot or made to look so.
I am looking at affilates programs right now as a start but the bottomline is that I am wet behind the ears and completely new to this. So before i go fuck myself, can any of you offer some guideance to help a new guy find his way in this world? Much appreciated in advance.
