Thats awesome for us that are British but based offshore now.

Filter porn? Won't ever happen (if it does at all) without some sort of compromise. But where or where would be the best place to put porn sites?

I'll allow ugly women but bad food, UK's got some amazing food/restaurants. Just because it didn't in the 70's.


Don't see Canada get a mention when the top restaurants lists comes out.
You put smegma on chips and claim it's lovely.

As someone who knows the UK and EU law a little bit. Here's my take.

The EU laws allow an individual country to set laws on porn in their country. So the UK government can legally restrict and censor in the UK without interference from the EU.

However they are not allowed to to restrict legal porn from another member State being imported into the EU. This is why a UK based porn company has to get an R18 certificate to distribute porn in the UK, excluding online because when the law was passed they thought DVD and Video was all there was or ever will be.

But a Dutch company can mail from Holland a copy of a DVD to a UK address that hasn't got an R18 certificate.

Now how that applies to the Internet and the UK, is down to the lawyers.

I'm not a lawyer, just someone who fell foul of the UK laws on certification and importing into the UK. Even had a debate with a UK Customs official when shipping porn to the UK and told him the law and why he was in the wrong. He agreed.

You forgot to mention a weather

They have drought warnings and lack rain fall.

It used to be illegal until 2003 and then they allowed it under R18 certification.

We've got more Michelin starred restaurants than the US.

If it were possible to take porn offline, where else will people addicted to porn get their daily dose for free?

I agree with an ISP having to filter out objectionable content and offering the opt in for those who require it.

It will cost us little as an industry, it gets rid of a ton of free surfers, kids who won't pay, husbands who are scared their wives will find out if they bill for porn on a website, etc. Clicks will drop, but not the quality. Ultimately it's the $$$ that determine the value of traffic, without them buying it's not wort squat.
