I am planning on creating an adult website. With everyone sueing everyone these days for the silliest of reasons I want protect myself. If you morally against adult websites please don't bother to reply to my question.
I FULLY understand that my website content has to be legal. I do not want to make this a "content" question.
I also know that I can register my website url so that my contact information is not displayed. I can also make sure I don't have a "contact us" page on the website.
How can I make myself "invisible" to lawyers if somebody wants to sue me. Ideally I'd like the lawyer to say to their client
"we cannot find this guy. We do not know which address to serve him".
Also, one level deeper in that what if the authorities force the hosting company or registering companies to divulge my information. How can I prevent getting found out that way ? What about my ip address ?

You would have to create another identity to do that. If you plan on making money from it anyway. . . If the site will be a hobby, you can do it without one, by using a free server and a spoofer. When you pay for hosting, a domain name, recieve membership payments, etc.etc. that money leaves a trail. Just make the trail end with a non existant person. I am not telling you to steal someone's identity. . . Just make someone up. It's harder than it sounds, but easier than you think.

Technically anyone can sue over anything. If that lawsuit is upheld is the discretion of a judge a jury.
If you are using copywritten material and you are caught, odds are their will be a sucessful lawsuit. If you use illegally obtained photos chances are their will be criminal charges.
If your website is sued, the web provider will bear that lawsuit until he pins it on you. He'll probably do this.
Hackers think they are pretty smart. The US government is capable of accessing any on-line computer secretly at anytime. They can't always do this legally, but they can and do it with probable cause. The BEST of all hackers eventually start working for the government.
Yahoo! opens private e-mail accounts for the government all the time.
If a suit is filed, odds are they will find you, or someone to pay.

Real quick, no matter what anyone says....porn is legal in the US. So, if you plan to follow the law anyway, there is no big deal.
I have helped investigate some on-line porn (underage crimes) and the WEB master or company will NOT go to jail to
protect a client. So, follow the law and don't worry about nuisance law suites.

There is absolutely no way to hide yourself completely when hosting a website. Your location, name and all other specific and needed details can be obtained by any lawyer with a subpoena for that information from your host or your ISP.

As a prosecutor, I can tell you that we already have this much evidence to start the first paragraph of the criminal complaint which links you to your future plans. Proceed with great caution...
