Are members of the industry banned from world travel?
 

Earlier today, someone posted an 8-year old article regarding Britain outlawing porn...

So, maybe that particular article's a bit out of date, but, for me it raised a question:

Are there any countries that we, as American peddlers of porn, should expect the possibility of being arrested in - if we choose to visit them?

Are we, like Richard Gere - and the rest of the "Free Tibet" spotlight folk - banned from China?


Never really thought about that before now... and I wonder... :Oh crap

The Ayatollahs banned me from taking voyeur pics on their beaches.

An interesting question, especially after the US arrests of those offshore gambling executives.

Note: the feds sought or were seeking forfeiture of $4.5 billion in the first case below:

I would think that if you go to another country (especially one that is "restrictive") that you wouldn't show up with your "I'm a fucking pornographer" T-shirt on. Anyone asks me, I do web design, graphics, programming, and database work. My company name isn't "tits, inc" and I don't advertise what I do.

There is nowhere in the world I fear to go because of my job, but there are places I wouldn't go because I might be mistaken for being American (at least until I say about or out).

iceland is kind of dangerous from what i've heard

That sucks

Well just stay away from Greenland, because the Jolly Green Giant is a Catholic.

Being Trageted as an American is way more dangerous worldwide than as a pornogropher.

Na... don't worry man :)

Sane countries don't keep records of purveyors of fine porn and try to arrest them when the flight hits the runway - only police states :winkwink:

I remember hearing something about Germany. Can't remember if it was the government sending out letters to people, or just some crazy private organization. I think Sleazydream got one, along with some other high profile sites....anyone remember what that was about?

I heard DarkJedi's mother told him not to leave the house, because he was grounded. does that count?

OK, here is a thread that mentions it.

Yes, Czech Republic, don't ever come over here or you will be sentenced to shoot some content on the fly and to bang legions of hookers everyday..

Blame Canada.
