- candiodari 9y agoBy the legal definition, of course he is acting.

- dragonwriter 9y agoThose laws seem to mostly address the child's power to contract and requirements regarding income under such contracts; this is income the parents made monetizing videos of their child. It's not clear to me that the child has any income here other than parental gifts, or that the laws you reference apply in any way to any income that the child does have.
