So they started with scat, bestiality, slap in face too hard, and they will continue adding illegal stuff, not allowing more, until they hit our core business too. About cookies the UK implementation is ok, but the dutch one it is crazy, there was some posts about it. We may detect NL traffic and have special version for them, I mean we know USA laws not best but please do not praise Euro Union even it got Peace Nobel as this is the heaven of laws and taxes about everything, VAT increases first - you may have noticed dutch tax increased from 19% to 21% on euro customers, very business friendly I would say (even regarding % to pay studios after VAT is paid), USA got no vat's.

CFR TITLE 28--Judicial Administration CHAPTER I--DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE PART 75--CHILD PROTECTION RESTORATION AND PENALTIES ENHANCEMENT ACT OF 1990; PROTECT ACT; ADAM WALSH CHILD PROTECTION AND SAFETY ACT OF 2006; RECORDKEEPING AND RECORD-INSPECTION PROVISIONS § 75.1 Definitions. (2) In reference to a visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct, means a duplicate of the depiction itself (e.g., the film, the image on a Web site, the image taken by a webcam, the photo in a magazine); and ...

What I meant is;

1.) that US 18 USC §2257 requires the recordkeeping of all webcam broadcasts. At face value, and subject to current legal challenges, terebytes of video broadcasts would have to be retained and indexed. Would you care to calculate the cost of that? Also, there is the issue of overall performer privacy and the basic right to be secure in ones records and premises.

2.) that the general situation toward the adult industry in not good with the religious right "fundamental christians" and the voices of "the moral majority" have long been a pain in the ass to say the least further pandered to as a constituency by a certain political party.

I cannot comment on the tax law situation for our company.

With regard to the EU data privacy laws enacted by individual member countries; The Dutch laws are more severe than the UK laws however the enacted laws have yet to withstand court challenges. The cookie laws were enacted for reason of the abuse of third party advertisers' cookies, tracking, subsequent data warehousing and sales of data. Some of these same privacy law principles will be followed in other national laws that have yet to be enacted is my own prediction. Cookies are dead -- read the writing on the wall.
