New UK Porn laws coming
 

Violent sites suck

all things sucks anyways.

Are sites with necrophilia content actively working now?

I said this well over a year ago when that woman was willingly strangled and her family blamed it on porn. You know, in Pheonix Helmy spoke out about ultra violent and degrading sites and he got some flack. Not only was he right but it doesn't matter that they are starting with extreme sites that most of us would be shocked by..it is the doorway it opens up.

hmmm, should be intresting. I think there's probably some valid legistlation that could come out of this, but I just know they're gonna screw it up.

Good. I hate that shit, its not right... but I do agree it opens doors and will cause even more shit for us all.

As a BDSM paysite owner where any "torture" is purely consensual with girls who do it for pleasure, I have to say this proposed change to the law scares the shit out of me. How long until they brand me a dangerous sexual terrorist?

I do spanking sites...same worries.

Not surprised Scotty! If that shit ain't gross, nada is. These kind of sites give "porn" a bad name.

The UK Obscene Publications Act already has very suitable wording that may well cover this type of content, namely, "that which has a tendency to corrupt and deprave.." The problem then is, who says the subject material has a "tendency to corrupt and deprave"? Some expert? Juries have, probably correctly, returning not guilty verdicts on "real porn" (ie normal fucking) under this act, but they may be more likely to convict on the extreme violent material that purports to be "porn". It may be overdue for the wording of the Act to something more specific.

Hell knows how strangulation, necrophilia and torture fall into the category of "porn" as we know it today - sounds more like a case for a psychiatric confinement, - even for assholes who publish the shit.

Comes down to the same thing - how do you measure the word "violent" - is electrostimulation violent? What about water bondage (That stuff scares me). Any depiction of forced sex? And if paysites can't do it - does that mean we're wiping rape scenes out of mainstream movies and TV now too?

Cyn

Talk about punishment... Uncle Sam wants his cut:

US to pay 25% online porn tax?

yea i say we ban all depections of voilence, sex & anything else deemed objectionable by the bible

I think that this is a good thing for our industry. I hate this shit anyway...

Can see your concerns Rosie! It's going to be down to whoever elects to use any new law for whatever purpose. The current Obscene Publications Act has already been abused by the Director of Public Prosecutions over the years.

One classic case was when the prosecutor asked a jury, "Would you allow your manservant to read this book?" :) Like the jury were all living in the 18th century and had a house staffed by "manservants" and the owner was God who knew best for his "manservants". The prosecution can be equally insane.

There is also an existing "anti" against the net when people can have access to images/movies of actions on a war zone - governments don't like footage of soldiers blowing folks up and this being available to all. The truth hurts and governments would like to kill that and brand anyone watching it as "terrorists".

The climate is not too healthly for rational judgement! :)

This could be a good thing... we'd be rid of Rush Limbaugh for bearing false witness and hipocracy :upsidedow

At least they don't have problems with 2257 regs...

Sky are also running an online poll asking who is responsible for policing the internet. When it was on TV this morning the majority 33% stood with the ISP's whilst the lowest at 19% was no-one.

violent porn. sex is violence, or can be anyways. there are people who do such things in their private lives and obviously there are women willing to do it and people willing to buy it. why try to pretend it doesn't exist? stupid laws.
