Currently Ofcom can only prosecute 'video on demand' adult websites, but the conservative government plans to extend this to all internet sites.

Age verification requirements go well beyond 'are you over 18'. i.e. German style requirements.

In other words, this time next year it will be effectively illegal to run an adult affiliate site from the UK.

Maybe time to revisit some of those 'best places in the world to run an adult company' threads.

I do. But I only pay attention to things when I know they are going to happen. Not just bollocks on a message board. Do you see the difference?



Yes, if it ever becomes a law, then that would be good. At the moment though, it's not even a proposal.



Do you go to AITA meetings?



Well obviously, straw man much?



Yes, imagine if all the traffic to your site were over 18 and had credit cards. That would be awful, wouldn't it?

Oh no, it would be fucking awesome.

Do you think before you type?



There are loads.

Do you think that phone sex and mobile porn has been ruined since age verification became law?

If you do, you are wrong, btw.

I'd be much more worried about affiliates becoming more and more pointless to programme owners than something that may or may not become law.

I launched a cam site in January last year for a client. Not open to affiliates. Making a fortune. The writing is on the wall because people have realised it is much more efficient to do in house traffic generation. That is where your concern should be focussed.
