Adult entertainment laws regulate the production, distribution, and consumption of adult content, including films, websites, and live performances. These laws vary by country and often include age restrictions, licensing requirements, and zoning regulations to ensure that adult businesses operate legally and safely. In many places, local governments enforce specific rules regarding where adult entertainment can be located, often keeping it away from schools and residential areas. Additionally, laws may address issues like obscenity, prostitution, and the protection of performers' rights, aiming to balance freedom of expression with community standards and public safety.
