I live in the UK and was about to register as a self employed webmaster when I thought I'd check up British laws regarding porn on the internet.
I found this: http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,20539,00.html
This says that running a porn site, even if the content is published and served from the US, is illegal in the UK.

Can anyone give me any feedback on this? Would registering as self employed be asking the government to prosecute me?
