Questions about streaming, cameras, and more

Hello folks, I'm new here and I'm currently in the process of setting up an adult website with some associates ( we're all first timers in the adult business ). I have several questions that I'm hoping some of you pros and more experienced members might be able to answer.

1) I read through the Paysites that do not let members download ( showthread.php?t=922292 ) thread and came to the conclusion that I will most likely stream the content in high def and allow low quality, very noticeably watermarked versions of the content for download. Can anyone tell me about what streaming setups they have, or even better, point me toward a tutorial on how you've setup your own secure streams?

2) I'm gonna need to buy a good HD capable camcorder. After looking at some guides on what to look for in a digital camcorder I think I have a general idea of what I need ( 1/3 inch image sensor or better, 12x optical zoom or better, 1080p progressive image, 24p - 30p framerate, ability to use lighting and mic accessories, probably with an internal hard drive for recording with the ability to also use memory chips/cards ). What kind of camcorders are you guys using for filming? Are there any camcorders you'd recommend? What type of camcorders would be good for a startup company?

3) I've read on a couple different sites about how to scout for talent for adult filming. Some of the suggestions I've heard were to put out wanted ads on various websites, visit strip clubs and ask some of the dancers, and even just asking people that you think would look good on camera. Where do you guys go to scout talent? Do you bother putting ads out, and if so, what are some places that usually have people that respond?

I'm sure I'll have more questions, but I'm going to stick with those for now.
