What a great site abbywinter.com is! This is my first post but I have been a subscriber for quite some time now.
I have a query which has been on my mind for quite a white and though my fellow AW subscribers may have had similar thoughts. Maybe even the AW team knows the answer to this.
Does anyone know what is strickly legal (or illegal) in Australia, and Victoria in particular, with respect to subscribing to internet adult sites which are mostly outside Aus? I'm ABSOLUTELY NOT referring to sites which contain underage, violent, animals, etc etc but over-18 mainly hetrosexual adult porn - of a similar content which you can generally buy on DVD from your local adult shop? I'm also not referring to copying to transmitting/distributing anything, just subscribing, downloading and storing for personal use.
Last year in Aus there was a lot of publicity surrounding the subscribing and downloading of internet porn - a lot of people got arrested. Admittedly, sites which had underage porn were targetted and (again) this is NOT what I'm referring to, but the media had a field day with it and I would suspect made most internet porn subscribers get a little nervous.
Someone mentioned to me that all adult material bought into this country has to be classified by the censor. Obviously material downloaded from an international site bypasses that process.
I did a search of Aus legal sites a while back but couldn't find specifics on this.
Has anyone looked into this in Aus ??
