New Lit Rules

[SweetErika]

So a copy of their Driver's Licence would be sufficiant. I still think it a farce that you could be raked across the coals for breaking the laws of a country that you've never even set foot in.

I don't think it applies to any site owners/producers/publishers outside the U.S. The "performers" or people appearing in the pics wouldn't be prosecuted (unless they're clearly doing something illegal I'd guess), but the owners of U.S. companies would be. As I said, I think ideas like this have their place...no one wants to see children exploited, but you're right, it's a farce in general.

Yeah well as far as stopping child porn & beastiality that I can understand. In fact I applaude it. Here in OZ there have recently been several busts and smashing Child Porn rings. But I think all of us on here are consenting adults. To the Govt there. MIND YA BUSINESS.

people, this is not censorship.

censorship is what the government does to the people. the new rules are obviously not the same thing at all. can we please stop the "censorship sux" rhetoric, people? it cheapens a very powerful word, and one that is being misappropriated here.

Well, I for one am completely saddened and disheartened at this news. Another favorite site of mine, adultdvdtalk.com, has to remove any and all similar pics, although theirs are for DVD releases, but still we can no longer browse through the pics to see what we might be purchasing. And now Lit? It's just too much. Not even masturbation pics - what the hell? Who's offended by that? I can't believe I have to say goodbye to pics of anal pleasure...

Done and done, Brinnie, whatever it takes!

Well, since this is the Café, what do you think about the additions to the law and ramifications for sites like Lit, Ed?

(Curious/discussion, not inflammatory, tone)

erika: i think they're stupid, to be honest. this is enormously wrong-headed. lit already asks members to certify that they're of age, etc, so i fail to see why this is an issue. as other have said: this is for consenting adults.

i hate congress. :>

bi: according to the rules, it seems you can post butt shots. :>

Actually, I was thinking if they need more security, why not do that .xxx thing someone was talking about before? Schools, libraries, and parents could block all .xxx sites for kids. It seems like a much better solution to me.

Also done!

WRONG x 10!

the new rules are a result of the new U.S.C. 18 Section 2257 laws.

i personally like this idea as well. the only thing is that, just like any time you "patch" legislation with more legislation, you get more loopholes than you started out with. i think it's worth trying but i can see a huge, protracted debate over what sites get the .xxx extention and what sites don't. friggin' bureaucrats.

Seriously, I just need to start my own country. It would be /so/ much better that way. All of my rules would be simple and easy to follow.
Example, rule number 1: Don't hit other people.
hehe.

we could still hit ON other people, right?

 

[silverwhisper]

hm. brinnie, got a link to the law as written? my google-fu is teh sux.

Rule number two: Every person has to be hit on at least once per day so that they can maintain a high level of self-esteem. There will be official admirers sponsored by the government who will go undercover to give people compliments when they are lacking.

this new nation is only like 10 minutes old and you've already got secret agencies and undercover operations that misguide the general public.

a shame, a shame.

Damnit, would someone chop off his head, already? Hes talking bad about the supreme ruler of everything and the most excellent majesty her wonderfulness bisexplicit.

 

[cmarlowe01]

Just goes to show you how fucked up this is turning out to be. Why would the stop people from posting thier own porno pictures.
These porn pictures are my favorite part of lit.

 

[bisexplicit]

Why would the stop people from posting thier own porno pictures

There are legit reasons:
1) Can't verify the models age. (I've gotten asked that, myself.)
2) Don't want under-age eyes to accidently stumble across explicit pictures.

Seems to me we oughta be more worried about more about violence than sex.
This is what happens when ya vote for conservative republicans.

i hear ya bro... one more thing the rednecks have fucked up for the rest of america.

i just noticed on another site i visit (where amateurs submit their own pictures) that the tease pics for the hardcore section have been censored to not show penetration or genitalia.

 

[Ricwilly]

LOL ya that's so silly, like I don't know what their coverin up.

 

[Ricwilly]

Ya know, I surf around and look at a little, Ok maybe more than a little, porn and so far I ain't really noticed any restrictions on what I can see.
