I gotta second Dark Jedi's question. How the heck do you get a 30 meg account? I haven't seen any options for it, and 5 megs sucks when you're doing movie galleries.
Hey DJ, I dunno spanish either. I've scoured the site with Altavista's translator http://www.altavista.com/r?F09 Check it out, maybe you'll find something I missed.

That's pretty vague though - what does pornographic mean? Is a teen posing pornographic or is that just referring to hardcore material that may be illegal in some places - e.g. fisting?
Its not vague at all. Look it up... photos etc which deliberately arouse sexual excitement. I'm betting they interprete it that way too. They might moss alot of galleries and such on their servers but what happens when they do catch you? Blacklisted thruout the free sites or ignore it and simply delete your site?

Gemini, yes your right. It seems pretty clear. No they don't allow porn sites. They arent inforcing it yet but they will. It just
seems to me (being an honest person), that I would not be trying to cheat them if I know that they really don't allow it. Eventually they will find all these sites and delete them. So this is just my opinion, but anyone putting up adult sites on them is really a cheater, trying to get over on them while they can..
I completely disagree given the context of that sentence. Ask any European and s/he will tell you that a topless women is not "in general, contrary to law, generally accepted ethics and proper conduct or public order." Within the context of the sentence, pornography is used as an example of what is contrary to law, accepted ethics, etc. I would agree that putting hardcore on terra.es may not be allowed given the above, but a teen poser showing no genitals and softcore banners I think is perfectly acceptable given the terms.
Apples are apples whether green or red. We use US law and try sending a girl out topless in public. Boom, Obsenity charges and if she bobs em its pornographic. Its better to fight shy of that sort of thing. We're with Lightening. Justifying something thats wrong by any means is still wrong. If those sites dcided to do it, they could sue for big dollars for bandwidth theft. I know the electronic TOS hasn't really been court tested yet but we surely don't want to set ourselves up to set their precedence. Not with all the freehosting out there. And we do have our own domains as well that give alot of BW.
Bottom line is cheating to get something for nothing always comes back on you. Look in the Hall of Shame. lol Where is Lensman in all of this? We're curious about his thoughts on stealing bandwidth.

Since when is U.S. law relevant to the TOS of terra.es? And how am I justifying what's wrong? What's wrong in this case is yet to be determined - that's my whole point. What's at issue is not what you consider to be pornographic but what terra.es has in mind when it says it doesn't allow pornographic content. And within the context of that sentence, it remains ambiguous what exactly they mean by pornographic just as it is ambiguous as to what exactly constitutes content that is "against generally accepted ethics." Who know what the fuck terra considers "generally accepted ethics"? For these reasons, I still believe that further clarification is needed before you can unambiguously declare that terra forbids all "adult content."
Rhizome as a point. When I go to the beach on the Adriatic sea, good looking chicks are topless and surrounding me overwhelmingly. Everything is cool exept the locals who don't like me having all the germans and/or Italian chicks. Is this pornographic? Nope.
When I walk in the park in Canada and there is a women breast feeding her child, people almost try to lynch her with rocks. Mostly someone calls the cops and they fine her. Now you tell me, which system is fucked?
I can pay for my own bandwith thank you. Rhizome is just the messenger here.
From practical point of view, porn galleries on terra.es are haevily promoted since September - I still havent noticed any 404 error on archived galleries, so it means they really are not that strict. I think they have that European liberal point of view in the terms "if it is not CP, than we dont care". Spray.se is the same I think.
