Online Porn illegal in Germany
 

WTF, what are these fuckers doing, forbid porn?

Is there a link to a story?

bullshit!
as a german webmaster you are not allowed to show hardcore porn to surfers without verifying their age first. (NO, credit card is not enough proof... lol)

the right for 'free access' to entertainment is part of germanys constitution.
and that's exactly what porn is - entertainment.

good luck enforcing that

Just hardcore without age verification is illegal.The age verification laws are just getting more strict but why do people open threads like that when they obviously have no clue :winkwink:

A credit card is not enough proof? So you mean people willing to sign up have to visit you at home and show you that they are adults? :1orglaugh

*cough* bullshit *cough*


Maybe study the laws before posting stuff,mmkay?

JOKER

so a german webmaster cannot submit galleries or own a tgp :1orglaugh

they want you to use "face 2 face" verification now.
which means a customer has to go to a post office and fill out a form and show his passport and shit.

no one is using it though, german webmasters prefer to go offshore now if they can afford it.

what a joke ;-)

see post above

I got my first VISA when i was 16. It's not 100% that the holder is over 18/21 when he pays with it.

Sucks to live in Germany...

Yeah, Netherlands

sure you can there are lots of german tgps they verify our age by your id code that takes you a few seconds and everybody is happy :winkwink:

If you publish porn in Germany prepare to talk to BUBBA :1orglaugh

holland is a nice country ;-)
there are better places to go offshore though , with flatrate taxes and stuff like this. germany doesn't want adult webmaster's money, well someone else gets it. lol

just means the germans go elsewhere to view free porn

not anymore... laws are getting stricter.
they claim it is not enough to check the passport number since they can be easily generated. The algorithm is available and explained on tons of webpages.

what they fail to realize is that it's called INTERnet not GERMANYnet
lol

more details?

Yeah there are some really fucked up companies who seem to see the really big money in dongle age verifications systems suing lots of companies and promoting their system so the laws change faster :feels-hot :mad: :321GFY

and not for the better, unfortunately

A DDOS on coolspot.de is always welcome :winkwink:

Even if you go offshore with your company and still live in Germany you are fucked. Adult Webmasters have to leave Germany to stay in this business.

LOL :1orglaugh

What's a DDOS?

distributed denial of service attack

At the moment business in Germany is still good,lots of good affil programs and good earnings through dialers but not very long anymore I guess :mad:

Not being allowed to show hardcore at a mainpage brings even more business I think.But all these dongle and AVS crap which is now to come is just sick... :feels-hot At the moment you don't need any verification beside ID or credit card for your member area,dialers normally don't include ID checks.

that's not true.

Did I miss any changes of the laws? :winkwink:

Thats wacked. My friend from Germany says they show nudity on tv all the time. Here in the U.S. some on-her-way-out singer shows a covered nipple during the super bowl for a quarter of a second and now the FCC wants to fine companies a billion dollars!

I thought the U.S. had wacked out ultra conservative laws. Maybe its all these Republican porno millionaires that have saved us so far :1orglaugh

Great, we're moving to Germany next week, we bought 2 houses overthere. Keeping the biz in The Netherlands though... But I also consider to keep renting a room in NL so that the German house would be my second home. If they're gonna start arresting Dutch webmasters on holiday in Germany, well, so be it...

there are a lot of ways to handle this, if you have the funds.

I doub't this will happen :)

I wonder how will they be able to monitor everyone over there?

Me too, ofcourse...
And if they try, I'll run to The Netherlands, it's 500 meters..

But it might be a good idea to stop crossing the border while smoking a joint... I heard it's illegal to smoke joints while driving in Germany. Is this true? :stoned

of course it is illegal... it's illegal to drink while driving as well, not to mention it is illegal to ride a bycicle while beeing drunk too.

isn't it in holland? ;=)

Well the german government doesn't like ppl driving while they are on drugs for obvious reasons,also your insurance wouldn't pay on a crash.In most "states" in germany you are permited to own a few grams weed for personal use.If you don't have hardcore without avs websites targeting only german customers you don't have to care about the german laws anyway :winkwink: Otherwise you are targeting swiss or austrian visitors,just make sure your company is located outside germany and everything is fine :winkwink:

:thumbsup :thumbsup

:1orglaugh

I was just kidding, ofcourse that's illegal in The Netherlands also... But it wouldn't be a biggie though... Now you should not crash, I agree...
And I will never take more then a few grams into Germany, like I said, it's 500m across the border and there is no checkpoint, so...

And in case you wonder why we go to Germany in the first place: real estate prices...

like that's going to work :)

Fuck Germany

In Germany you are able to get a credit card even under the age of 16!
