seems sleazydream is going to be reviewed by a pannel of 12 germans from different social organizations like religious groups and teachers. if they don't like the site it will be put in the 'index' - apparently a bad place to be.
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
wake up people - any concerned parent just has to restrict adult content on IE and no more sleazydream. AVS doesn't do this - any kid can get a credit card but it's a lot harder to bypass and adult lock out procected by password if the parents hide the password and the re-boot disks. Demanding AVS might stop sleazydream - but not the 1,000,000,000,000 other porn sites out there and isn't a feasable option.
thoughts on if i should respond to them or just ignore it?
anyone else get a registered letter from these bozos?

No issue here, if your hosting is offshore you should be able to safely ignore these letters, but I'd recommend you looked at the finer points of your internet laws.
We have a similar system in place in Australia, and I've received cease and desists, but if my hosting is offshore, there's no issue.
I beleive there's a guy on GFY who I spoke to when I got mine who ran teen.com.au who was the first to havethe problem..
So i'm sure if you're offshore, no issues ;)
