Philippines bans sex cams
 
FYI. The Philippines has passed an anti-"cybersex" crime which bans sex cams. You can see a copy of the new law here: gov.ph/downloads/2012/09sep/20120912-RA-10175-BSA.pdf Previously, there were no direct laws against cams. They used the anti-trafficking act which only covers involuntary situations. As a result, individuals associated with cam studios were, usually, able to escape jail sentences. The law defines it as a felony and punishable by at least 6 years in prison. Chapter 3 also covers the use of corporations in pursuit of these activities.

Quick FYI so no one has to find out the hard way.

What about individual girls working from home? Did they ban that too?

^ Do laws not usually apply when people are at home?

That is a scanned jpg so you cannot search text but I scanned it and only saw 'communication' with regard to unlawful access -- chapter and title of any reference to adult sex cams being made illegal?

I personally know of raids and arrests there of studio operators and cam performers. One USA cam site owner I know was arrested and then ejected from the country in connection with his business dealings there in 2006 I believe -- the US Embassy interceded with the military police to secure his release.

Owning or operating a webcam studio is a form of pandering like a house of prostitution under their local laws or something like that.

There is a bribery side to this business in many countries. This is one reason that we do not own or operate studios. We just broadcast content that is lawful in our domicile -- The Netherlands.

Dude, the Act isn't that long.

Cybersex - The willful engagement, maintenance, control, or operation, directly or indirectly, of any lascivious exhibition of sexual organs or sexual activity, with the aid of a computer system, for favor or consideration.

Lots of silly laws passed in countries like that. The question is, will the enforce it?

Well, when they issue a test version -- lamers. I see that now ...

I noticed all the Philippine studio girls gone at one competitor this is probably why.

Cam Studios or sex cam work is unlawful in Thailand and Singapore too -- that doesn't mean that there are not some independent cam girls working out of their homes.

It is illegal in Ukraine BTW too. In Russia the police shake down the studios and girls for their bribes.

In California they tax it with a one time permit. (Try to anyway).

Anyway, no more photoshopped postal IDs from the Philippines. We never dealt with those persons for that reason mainly -- too much liability for underage performers.
