Good on AdultShop!
Posted by Rob under Aussie companies, Blog
Recently they had a full page ad in a major Melbourne newpaper, asking for something to be done about XXX movies in this country. They way I understand it, porn shops are breaking the law by selling X18+ movies, for these are deemed to be prohibited due to containing “real depictions of actual sexual activity … in a way that it is likely to cause offence to a reasonable adult”.
Unfortunately normal happy-go-lucky just folk having consensual sex movies are being wrongly classified as X18+. And porn shops are unsure whether they will ever be raided and convicted for it.
Many web innovations have started in the porn industry, and to my mind “nice” porn should be available to adults in a free democracy. Hopefully AdultShop’s campaign will have a good result.
