Where I live, Heineken isn't considered beer. Cat-pee or horse-urine are more common names for it.

Be fair, they are Americans, they are used to drinking beer that tastes like diluted urine!

Currently Im in Netherlands and well... it's true and it hasn't changed since long time (got first heiny in here 10 years ago) - Heineken is piss. If it's about weather it's the same - i dare to say that the saying "english weather" ought to be converted to something like "duch weather" - spent some time in both countries and believe me or not, holland sucks so much more if it's about dark cloudy and rainy days, especially if you're by the sea! ;D

ecchi: u forgot about windy season which pretty much goes on throught whole of the year in uk need to visit it to open up ltd in there in coming months, i'm curious how it's legal adult biz things over there... might happen that you know something about that?

Wind I don't mind, provided it does not come with "wind chill factors". However anything that "goes on through whole of the year" is not a season, a season is something that only happens during a specific part of the year.

A lot better than it was. When I started in this biz, back in the 1990's, I got a external hard drive to store my sites on, so that I could throw it on the floor and stamp on it if the police came calling. I also registered my sites abroad and used servers on mainland Europe. Today that is not necessary unless you are doing child pornography, bestiality, etc. We are a lot more relaxed.

However there are laws, so far unused, about extreme S&M porn. The law is untested and IMHO unworkable (if enforced it would, for example, ban most televised sports shows as it is so badly written it's definition of "extreme S&M" would include 90% of sports).

If you are considering selling "real" goods, be aware it is illegal to send pornographic material by post, or any other delivery system (you have to be able to see the customer to ensure they are over 18). Although this does NOT include the Internet, which is where most kids get to see porn.

Also, somewhat bizarrely, our laws about what is obscene depends on how much it offends people local to it's physical location. For example hardcore porn mags (anyone remember them?) could be stronger if sold in London, where people accepted them more easily, than in more rural villages. However you are unlikely to be pulled up under these laws nowadays (the Internet having made people across the country less liable to be "shocked by pornographic images").

Offline, live "adult" shows require a special licence, and in most places so does the sale of sexual material. However these rules are set by local councils not central government, so vary from area to area.

It short, if you stay away from the nasty stuff, you really don't have to worry as a producer/Internet provider. If you sell/perform offline you do need to look into local laws though.

It's more about arghh.... ehh... legalizing my income guess renting advertiesement space or something would suit it better than distributing porn - btw. I love the porn via post idea
