I originally posted this in the public forum, but thought I would get a better discussion in the mentor group.
Current project:
I am a webmaster of an adult tube site which contains mostly copyrighted material from P**N companies, or cam sites. There are also some original content from affiliates. Customers can subscribe to different users, or pay to download videos by purchasing "tokens", and affiliates are paid out each month. I previously was accepting payments via stealth PayPal and Stripe accounts, but they recently got burned. I am now looking for a proper setup. Since I was using stealth accounts, I do not have any company started. My number one priority is privacy and remain anonymous. I am currently processing anywhere between $1000-$7000 USD/month (depends on where I am accepting payments), but around 50% will be used to pay affiliates.

Questions:
- Should I form a company somewhere? With privacy being a priority do you recommend real ID or darks?
- Would I be able to get away with no company and use using stealth PayPals and creating a dummy shop for hosting or some other service?
- Should I try other payment processors?
