one single advice: DONT DO IT.
another advice: REALLY DONT DO IT if you plan to run porn sites.

dude, your a popsicle stick awaiting the deep freeze

its allowed but germany has some strict rules on Jugendschutz a 2257 alike thing, check that out, gangbangjoe can help you maybe hes bavarian not sure if he has german sites

but porn is allowed there its just restricted in some ways

well see i dont gte it, theres so much porn in germany its crazy, plus ive seen so many porn site from germany, why is it that porn is such a bad this there when sthere so much of it on the germany new work. im a littel confuse now :Oh crap

my :2 cents: : stay out of germany.

you will regret it if you move

go for another european country instead.

everybody wants porn in germany
everybody is watching porn
everybody is allowed to talk freely about porn

but if you start doing it you will get flamed.

apart from the porn its not the first country id pick, mind you holland wouldnt be it too, both pretty expensive countries taxwise foodwise housewise etc

but I guess not going to germany wouldnt be an option if she has a house there... so where would that be? I mean Dresden or Koln kinda differs a lot.

well see thats the part i need to knwo, the full rules and run down, what i can do and what I CANT DO... im not tryin to go to jail but i do wanna still keep my old hobbie. do u know where i can read up on the rules of porn in germany..

Well you have fun in Gremany now.. Say hi to all the Gremlins.. :pimp

stay out of thready if you don't have a clue about what is the deal

maybe you see german sites, but the sites are not based in germany or the companies running them are outside of this shithole country.

running porn sites, when you are located in germany is impossible.
2257 is a fucking joke compared to the rules in germany.

the post office has to identify every potential customer face-to-face before you are allowed to show porn to him (authentification via an usb-dongle).
this way is the only way to make sure no minors can access your site, now you can guess for yourself how many potential customers will use that method, and how many will just go to another porn site, not based in germany with none of those bullshit restrictions.

Whoops you used the wrong nick.

so even if i host my own site from america, can i still get in some shit.. how deep is it really

it doesnt matter where it is hosted.
it matters where the person running it is located...

well as i said in my above post, you gotta make SURE no minors can access your site or any pics that show more than tits.
if you dont do that you can get anything from fine to jail.

damm the laws seems to be silly ass fuck.. but that was my plan to keep it based in america and just run it from germany, not that anybody has to know, my only problem is: the content, since im in need of fresh content every dam week, finding content is gonna be hard ass hell in germany. looks like ima have to go tpg and still base it from germany.tahnks for that info.

make sure you get a decent legal advice, if you stay a US citizen Id make sure to legally base it all in the US

There are several people living in germany who run porn sites in the US. It must be possible.

Its not harder to find content in germany than it is in the US. The one has nothing to do with the other.

There simply are a lot of laws protecting minors in germany. Many of the german sites are run by companies located outside of germany, sometimes the owners still live in germany though. This is of course all a gray area really, but normally I would expect that the german law enforcement will first look for germany based companies before it goes after foreign ones which might have people living in germany.

But its really a gamble.

yeahh man this is gonna be hard, guess ima have to let somebody run it for me, i was gonna sell the dvds but that looks like its out.

Ah, what a bunch of pussies here. Yes, German laws are ridiculous but what can really happen if
- you host your stuff outside of Germany
- you run your site in English and don't target the German market
- you hide your domain reg info
Do you really believe that there are no adult webmasters in Germany anymore?

that is so 2003 ...

Listen to Nathan, best advice so far. :2 cents:

Steve

yeah like i was saying, theres gotta be a way around this.. i dont wanan have to drop everything because of tehre stupid laws

maxx you just made me feel better, i dont host shit from germany i just wanan keep everything the way it is, and sit back and collect my money from myvituralcard, which is located in canada

omg read the fucking thread

especially what xato wrote.

just hide and they wont know right, now thats a long term vision

joe dont get me wrong, i understand every thnag you were sayin, its just that maxx kind of made it easy for me. i dont wanna have to go thur that german bullshit just to make a little money..

just use a fake whois or domains by proxy-like stuff, host your stuff outside of germany and you will not have a problem with porn lol

jeez
some of you guys on this board are pussies

but you will have to go through a lot of bullshit if you want to do it the legal way :thumbsup

but..but..but...

hes black....

exactly unless youre in some US mil base and ground youre ON german grounds, you gotta deal with their laws. There is no in between solution. But hey take the advice from guys that live like 100k miles away from Germany and not from GBJoe whos german and me living 2 miles from the german border and dealing with it for 15+ yrs :)

NOW that can be worked out with no problem..thanks for lession :thumbsup

Having worked for sexmoney...
I know many many German webmasters are leaving Germany due to the strict porn-laws. If you are in Germany, you must show censored content on your site and list your name and full address...

Not fun! my 2 cents

-=munk=-

dam you do make a good point, but whos gonna tell, how can i get busted if no one knows im already in germany, the only people will know is my merchant account . and i know there not gonna give a shit about where im located

As I said, some people here are just pussies. So you don't cross the street when the light is red, and you go to Holland when you want to smoke some dope? Oh man, my mother is braver than you...

:disgust now one thang for sure, there are a lot of hookers in germany and there based in germany, here is one who sells pussy with her site

http://www.marbella-escort.com/e_index.htm?/e_nora.htm :disgust

i wonder if the cops are fuckin with her for sellin ass over the net.

That's only partly true. Most of the webmasters that I have talked to have left because they pay less taxes elsewhere...

If you are leaving the States to move to europe you need to do some more research about your future life there if you are still asking basic questions. I did the tranition but it took a long time to start feeling like this was my home and that was with a shared language. Follow your heart but make sure it is where you want to live before cutting your ties.

Oh and you still have to pay American taxes.

15 yrs jail or crossing on a red light isnt quite the same now is it?
