Think on this one - on the same basis any webmaster can be arrested while flying to another country where adult-related issues are "illegal" although he has no business in that country, is not a resident/citizen or have any hosting etc.
Thank-you.... I think someone got the 'gist' of what I was saying.... So the fact that my company does billing for something that may be illegal in some market... should I be arrested and charged with a criminal offense?

The implications of this story are WAAAAY beyond DVD sales as it explicitly mentions streaming/webcam content etc...

Content that 'you' are producing/selling that is 'hard-core' is almost certainly beyond the R18 laws of the UK....

Fancy being arrested and sent down as you step off the plane?
Even better, when reciprocal extradition treaties are in place - perhaps you can be hauled out of your house for breaking UK laws?

Does it matter where in the world you are when you break a national law? - NO - It doesn't! You want to live by a naieve belief that you are beyond that countries' reach?

PS - rant NOT aimed at webby....
