        We really do get away with murder on the Net. Can you imagine if a magazine stand owner was handng out a free pack of 4 x 6 porn pics indiscriminately to any age group to induce people to buy his magazines. His newstand would be shut down in 1 day.

          According to the Bush administration, they're trying to limit access by minors to adult sites. They want the free content from sponsors not be able to be posted freely on th net without verifying the viewer's age. I don't condone letting minors into my site, but come on, growing up in a major metropolitan city, where most of my friends were older growing up, if you don't see it online, one of your buddies will rip it off from a liquor store, and we'll all get a peek at a friend's house. The point of this post, get involved politically, "write letters to your congressman/woman telling them you want your freedom of speech rights reserved" !!!! Fuck Bush and the Republican Party!!1

                worldwide control is easier to implement than we all want it. force ISP's to provide online access through proxies only. presto. the vast majority would not be able to get unrestricted access anymore.

                  I've tried to argue this point before with someone, and got amusing responses...


                  my thoughts are, if you can do it openly on any streetcorner in the civilized parts of the US (bible belt & taliban country excluded) then it's "OK" to do...

                  if not...then, uhmmm prolly not a great idea



                  anonymity online will not protect someone forever, those doors are slowly closing... :/


                  what made the internet great and wild is disappearing....soon it will be a NON-anonymous, BIG network & gov-only controlled and operated playground...




                  PS: don't get me wrong I LOVES ME SOME free porn....I've been a fan of alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.bigtits for several years....kazaa, etc....but that was just a nice free ride I didn't expect to last forever ;)

                      To illustrate his point, Olson said he went on his home computer over the weekend, typed in "free porn" on a search engine and 6 million Web sites popped up.

                          come to think of it this might be a good thing. Get rid of all the free porn and make people buy it. See nothing wrong with that.

                              Fuck you shithead paysite owners that say this is good, who the hell do you think promote your programs. We, the hard working, gallery submitting, ass-busting webmasters. Like I said if the boy is 17 and under, it's a no in my book, but his buddies at school is going to have some mags to look at anyways, so who gives a fuck where he gets his porn. His mom and pops should of taught him about the birds and the bees so we hard-working webmasters don't have to!

                                    It can be argued, however, that beyond the disclaimer of any adult site is like the front-covers of a magazine and what is inside is like "in" the magazine.

                                        1, that's retarded. As everyone knows you can run a business and host outside of the US. Law ineffective.

                                        2, they'll pass it anyway.. and further restrict the rights of responsible adults in this country. If the Religious Right has their way, the end is near for everyone in the US who likes to enjoy themselves.

                                          It's kind of funny. The feds say to use a credit card to verify age, but visa says you can't use a credit card to verify age. That's why all the avs sites are now adult entertainment networks.

                                            Most paysites don't have a affiliate program. So they could care less if the freesites are around or not (and actually prefer them gone).

                                            The few paysites that do rely on affiliates will lose their ass.

                                            The ones that know affiliates are just a form of marketing their site and don't actually rely on them, could give a shit one way or the other. Affiliates are just extra money to them.

                                            Laws like this come and go. It'll be passed and then shot down a couple of months later. Seen it happen before and will probably see it happen again. We are just coming around in full circle is all.

                                                          According to the Bush administration, they're trying to limit access by minors to adult sites. They want the free content from sponsors not be able to be posted freely on th net without verifying the viewer's age. I don't condone letting minors into my site, but come on, growing up in a major metropolitan city, where most of my friends were older growing up, if you don't see it online, one of your buddies will rip it off from a liquor store, and we'll all get a peek at a friend's house. The point of this post, get involved politically, "write letters to your congressman/woman telling them you want your freedom of speech rights reserved" !!!! Fuck Bush and the Republican Party!!1

                                                              That's bullshit. If its on an adult domain,that isnt tricking younger age surfers into the site, it should not matter what the content is.

                                                              A porn site having porn does not do anything to a childs access to the information age, unless he specifically looks for it, and if that is the case it is a parental issue.

                                                              The internet is a completely different medium, and should be governed so. It completely loses its value when you start placing government regulation. You may think it would start and stop with restrictions of the hardest free pornsites, but it wouldnt. Religious folk who believe it is their duty to force their morals on others are very dangerous.

                                                              Ill put whatever I want on my domains, they are all registered with the ICRA so if a parent wants their children to not see that sort of thing its very easily done.

                                                                              Anyone who has even one picture, article, or video that is offensive to children on their site right now, will be eligible for possible jail time if the law isn't overturned. That includes banners, paysite tours, and everything else.

                                                                              The law exists right now, the government just can't enforce it until the case is resolved, However, if you have the content on your site now, or if you have in the last few years, you can go to jail if the law if found to be valid.

                                                                              Almost everyone in the adult industry will be guilty if it is found constitutional. You can be prosecuted for whatever was on any site you owned going back to when the law was signed.

                                                                              You are a criminal who can be prosecuted at any time for the rest of your life (unless their is a statute of limitations) if the law is found constitutional.

                                                                              Cheer for that.

Essentially it might be as easy as a birthday verifier script with declaration that a false statement is purjury and is governmed by the e-sign act. HOWEVER, this is as stupid to me as a disclaimer page. Any kid can click a few buttons and get in anonymously. The truth is that unless a way to legally verify age on the Web (which means surfers cannot surf porn anonymously anymore), not much is going to work. It's going to change sales figures alot as some adults don't have the patience to verify themselves extensively and so # of prospects will decrease. This could have a bigger effect that any visa chargeback rules!

                                                                                    look, whether there is a law or not, the IDEA that minors should not have access to porn is the right idea.

                                                                                    KIDS shouldn't see porn whether there is a law or not, so stop trying to do a workaround on it.

                                                                                    KIDS can't buy porn memberships whether there is a law or not, so don't waste your bandwidth on them.

                                                                                    do the right thing, the PROACTIVE thing.

                                                                                    get your sites listed with ICRA.

                                                                                    then anyone who doesn't want porn can filter it at the browser level, and parents can setup their machines so kids won't see the smut.

                                                                                    that is the only feasible, responsible solution.

                                                                                        2, they'll pass it anyway.. and further restrict the rights of responsible adults in this country. If the Religious Right has their way, the end is near for everyone in the US who likes to enjoy themselves.
                                                                                        this is only half correct. they actually go by where the product originates. If you live on Denver, and host your sites in Europe you are still in violation because you are building the sites in Denver.

                                                                                        Also the supreme court did rule that they can use the community standard law for the internet. So if someone in Oklahoma finds it offensive, they can drag you down to Oklahoma and prosecute you there.

                                                                                          look, whether there is a law or not, the IDEA that minors should not have access to porn is the right idea.

                                                                                          KIDS shouldn't see porn whether there is a law or not, so stop trying to do a workaround on it.

                                                                                          KIDS can't buy porn memberships whether there is a law or not, so don't waste your bandwidth on them.

                                                                                          do the right thing, the PROACTIVE thing.

                                                                                          get your sites listed with ICRA.

                                                                                          then anyone who doesn't want porn can filter it at the browser level, and parents can setup their machines so kids won't see the smut.

                                                                                          that is the only feasible, responsible solution.
                                                                                          Look, my main problem with this all is that I do most of my business from SE traffic, if im forced to have some ridiculous AVS front end that effectively kills any and all SE traffic.

                                                                                          I already rate with the ICRA, but that doesnt change the fact what they are trying to do is pure bullshit.

                                                                                            The few paysites that do rely on affiliates will lose their ass.

                                                                                            The ones that know affiliates are just a form of marketing their site and don't actually rely on them, could give a shit one way or the other. Affiliates are just extra money to them.

                                                                                            Laws like this come and go. It'll be passed and then shot down a couple of months later. Seen it happen before and will probably see it happen again. We are just coming around in full circle is all.

Or at least they aren't reliant on affiliates for income but then I ask you if you own a paysite with no affiliates how do you promote that site. I'm sure some people might be SE Gurus and do just that but I think most of those paysites use TGP galleries, Free and AVS sites to promote themselves.

                                                                                              Affiliates used to bring in the majority of signups for me before these 3rd party billing companies built in a affiliate system for all the paysites. Now everybody and their brother has a affiliate system. The affiliate market is oversaturated now (in my opinion)

                                                                                              My paysites bring in the majority of signups from search engines, advertising and plain old link trading with other sites. The people I know with paysites do the same thing.

                                                                                              I'm pretty sure alot of the paysites out there use freesites and TGPs for promoting. But even if freesites and TGPs went away, I don't think it would even hurt those companies that much. Any paysite that relys on one main source of marketing, is risking alot. It's like the 3rd party billers nowadays. If a paysite relys on one 3rd party biller, they are risking alot.

We, the hard working, gallery submitting, ass-busting webmasters. Like I said if the boy is 17 and under, it's a no in my book, but his buddies at school is going to have some mags to look at anyways, so who gives a fuck where he gets his porn. His mom and pops should of taught him about the birds and the bees so we hard-working webmasters don't have to!
                                                                                                    Pssst... the shithead paysite owners used to be gallery submitting webmasters too... and they're still hard-working and ass-busting.

                                                                                                    Any gallery maker or simply NON paysite owner who thinks that giving it all away for free makes good business sense should just get OUT of the business, period.

Now everybody and their brother has a affiliate system. The affiliate market is oversaturated now (in my opinion)

                                                                                                      My paysites bring in the majority of signups from search engines, advertising and plain old link trading with other sites. The people I know with paysites do the same thing."


                                                                                                      there are some big webmasters here that don't use the affiliate model at all.

                                                                                                      and do pretty good.

                                                                                                      there is a law of diminishing returns.

                                                                                                      if you can only creat so much original content, why water it down with affiliates saturating the market?

                                                                                                      it's like putting a carrot on a stick in front of the donkey---you payout 50% to affiliates who saturate the market with your best work, which forces you to go out and pay retail creating new content.

                                                                                                      so you end up with maybe 20-25% net net.

                                                                                                      original content is king. if you have that, you don't need affiliates.
