thye go on to say pornographic content is ONLY legal if viewed through an AVS. this is fucking insane.

they go on to say that if/when I'm included in the 'index' I'm prohibited from using teasers, trailers, or other adverising content and subject to criminal prosecution

Hey sleazy. All big US sites got letters from them and are on the index really. I'm amazed you did not get one sooner. PK for example got one like 4 years ago if I remember correctly.

Don't reply to them, no sense anyway. This is about a registry that lists all games/books/movies/web sites which are either only allowed to be viewed at 18 or totally forbidden. If you were in germany you would have to comply to this obviously, but since you are not, don't bother.

You'll be among a bunch of lovely friends there ;) I can not find a list of sites right now.
