Why do several ppl in here post that rape porn is legal in Germany? It's absolutely not:
Quote:
Section 184a
Distribution of pornography depicting violence or sodomy
Whosoever
1. disseminates;
2. publicly displays, presents, or otherwise makes accessible; or
3. produces, obtains, supplies, stocks, offers, announces, commends, or undertakes to import or export, in order to use them or copies made from them within the meaning of Nos 1 or 2 above or facilitates such use by another, pornographic written materials (section 11 (3)) that have as their object acts of violence or sexual acts of persons with animals
shall be liable to imprisonment of not more than three years or a fine.

Taken from the official English translation of the German Criminal Code, which you can view here:
http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/en...#StGB_000P184a
It clearly says "that have as their object acts of violence", so it's just the topic that matters, not if during the production a real rape has occured or it was simulated. The depiction of acts of sexual violence is enough already to make it illegal - in case you produce the content to disseminate, publicly display, present it or otherwise make it accessible. Which is the case if you distribute it on a website, I'd say.
So distributing material online that is illegal in a countries where the audience the site aims at comes from makes that problematic without a doubt, especially as the direct debit Webbilling offers aims at a German audience.
