Coming from that country this is fucking hilarious.

It sounds like a neo-communist joke. I wonder what they mean by medical purpose? Viagra replacement??

stupid law

i am glad that i am not living there

No more Ukrainian teen models? LOL.

True, but one I support. The sign ups from there do not account to squat. So we all lose some free surfers, big deal.

Content providers will see this as good news as well.

From an economic and competition point of view that might be right for some. But personally I can not support the way they take away freedoms, by banning adult porn. Think about it: What would you do if it happens where you live? This is an scary example of politicians abusing power. I don't think the majority of Ukrainians wants such strict law?

I have lived and worked in a country that tried to ban hardcore porn, so I don't worry about it now. Most countries will not ban porn, even though some might cut back on what is allowed. Men in the Ukraine will still be jerking off. While that happens some will still pay.

We have a more sensible outlook to porn in Czech but if they did ban it I would move to another country where it was accepted. A big move but one than can be done.

If there was a total ban on hardcore it would not be a problem. I made a good living when you could not show a lot of what is normal today.

this is idiotic. it pisses me off, when people allow politicians to fuck with our freedom...

The medical reasons for porn would be ? Fertility clinic?

that is sad new

As a producer or otherwise involved in the business, it would be wise to move. But you can't tell a hole nation to move, if they want to possess porn. This is about free speech, and just like other nations or states limiting it, except for violence or child abuse, I can't support it.

I live in a country where it's illegal to producer or distribute, not a big deal. Don't get caught.

So you agree with them banning some freedoms!!

I see your point but Governments limit our "Free Speech" all the time. You're not allowed to shoot or publish scat, bestiality or pissing porn in many countries. In other countries they have chosen to ban all porn. When it's a democracy the electorate have their chance to have their say and kick out a Government they don't like.

The Ukraine has never been one of the countries I would use as a bench mark of freedoms.

Just worry that they decide to ban it where you are and not places like Saudi, China and the Ukraine.

Good bye to all Ukrainian GFYer.

It won't affect my personal legal situation because in my country even everything you mentioned is legal, but only because it is not "my worries" I will still not support it. And profiting from it will not change my mind. Whether it is American webmasters struggling with unfair 2257, Saudis cut their heads off or Ukrainians going to jail for possessing of something I consider freedoms.. they are the ones who get my moral support.

I also disagree about of your view of Ukraine as bench mark. They have been very "free" regarding porn, and that is probably why they have had so much problems with child abuse. Instead of focusing on that problem alone, they nuke everyone. Efficient, yes... but not exactly the right way to handle it IMO.

Try asking the shooters who traveled there from outside the country. Always been illegal.

Someone needs to feed that fucker more irradiated soup.

yet you always seem to go about how thailand is some kind of freedom utopia

Really? Maybe no one cared then, until now. :)

Feel sad about it.

this is so fucked up ..

that rediculuous, 3 years imprisonment, cmon...

wow Paul, least expected support of banning porn from you! :321GFY:321GFY - how would you feel if you were based there or your country did the same thing. go jump in cheers now.

Ukraine may not bring much of signups but there are lots of people there who work in this industry bringing great value to the table, from content producers to developers and system administrators.

GFY

That's fucking retarded.

Look out for illegal Ukrainian immigrants coming to your country for some Porn!

how is power being "abused"?

there is a legislative process for creating laws. the process is followed, a new law is created. there is a legislative process for rescinding laws.

you can't make the argument about a law being unfair or restricting rights or freedoms,... because that is the essence of practically all law.

Pleasurepays, by your logic no laws can be overturned and considered unconstitutional in the future.

how is porn medical?

How does that work?

In a democratic country, not following the wish of majority, and especially the wish of your own voters, is in my opinion abuse of power. You are selected to represent the people... The same can be said about the wish of minority if the law is unconstitutional, like established human rights. The process, i.e. practice in courts or later political change, does not change the fact that abuse itself eventually happened.

i think you are confused as to what "democracy" typically means when it comes to common usage. representative officials are elected to pass laws. if people disagree with the laws that are passed, they don't get elected again. laws can be passed. laws can be rescinded.

additionally, you are making a huge assumption that the "majority" of the adult population of a country with a large % of the population still being communist in their beliefs, opposes such a law.... based solely on the fact that you PERSONALLY view it as abuse and unfair.

Well, all a guy would have to do is provide any of a number of medical studies that show men should have regular ejaculations to prevent prostate cancer. How much porn a man would need to keep "healthy" would be up to debate, of course :)

Wow- wtf?

No, my view is the same as the human rights activists and artistic community protesting against it, and I assume the majority of the younger adult population, at least the males, possess porn on one level or another. They are now all "criminals"... The law is also very broad by not defining pornography. Even artistic painters could go to jail...
As I said, democracy is not only about majority, but also constitutional rights. This is about free speech... and I also think most webmasters on this forum, and other true democratic countries, share my view.

that SUCKS, soo many Ukrainian women are smokin HOT!

what is "free speech"? you are attempting to apply a subjective, broad definition (your own). possessing cp isn't free speech. possessing bestiality isn't free speech. yelling "FIRE" in a movie theater isn't free speech. mailing your favorite Max Hardcore rape scenes to Jesusland Alabama, isn't free speech.

you seem to be under the mistaken impression that the US Constitution applies to the Ukraine or that "freedom of speech" is not without limitations.

everyone loves capitalism and democracy until they don't agree with the outcome!

hmmmmmm

for medical purposes ?

Nymphomania im sure is a medical reason :1orglaugh

btw gambling bidnis is also banned.

they probably mean for educational medical purposes.

Btw is'nt ukraine one of countries with biggest prostitution rate?

so is Thailand... but its still illegal there as is the production and distribution of pornography are illegal in both Thailand and the Ukraine

:2 cents:

Illustrating and possessing sex,and whatever fetish they have, between two adult humans, as long they do it by own free will, is about free speech. Rape, child or animal abuse can never be the same "freedom", because one part is not doing it by free will. This is not about capitalism, but the rights to express yourself - and to receive it, which is universal.

devastating blow to the industry :Oh crap packup your shit

It can't be good...

LOL

I'll tell you what, if you want to retire early, find ANY post where I said Thailand was a freedom utopia and I'll cash you out so you never have to work again.

While you are more or less left alone in Thailand, shooting porn or even having it is illegal. I've always said that, so has everyone else. But it's illegal to shoot it in most of the world too, so no biggie, I'm not the guy they usually fuck with here.
