[The Truman Show] Wasn't the Truman Show illegal? Why weren't the producers arrested?

Surely, its illegal to keep a person captive in a giant television set.  Isn't that kidnapping or something?  Why weren't the makers of the show arrested?

Truman was legally adopted by Christof, and the laws were almost miraculously changed to give his studio full legal rights as a caregiver. Because of this, Christof/the studio gave full consent to have his child filmed in an unusual documentary. As a child, Truman was given top-notch care and raised with traditional and wholesome family values. No one can argue that he was mistreated because the video evidence is extremely extensive. 

Truman was never kept captive. He *was* psychologically conditioned to remain within the confines of Seahaven, and that is a debatable topic, but he was never kept against his will. He got a legal education, was legally trained for his insurance job and even earned an actual salary. It just so happened that all of his peers, teachers and clients were also actors.

Truman had the full legal right to leave whenever he wanted, hence why no guards or employees were waiting at the door when he ultimately left. If they did, then there would have been a case for him being enslaved or kidnapped.
