    You still need an account, which requires a registered credit card though, don't you?

    I used to buy porn mags from my local newsagent when I was 14. I used to hide them inside other mags, or roll them up backwards so it just showed a picture of a cigarettes advert or something and just say it's £1.95 or whatever they cost back then. The old lady in the shop was a bit of a scatter brain and didn't really care anyway.

    No they're not. But since when does a hardware manufacturer get to tell people what they can use their products for and what they can't. But even more than that, they're BLOCKING/BANNING the use of unapproved apps on their hardware.

    That's like G.E. saying you're not allowed to put brownies containing cannabis in your refrigerator, and actually having a way to enforce it!

    Clearly it's up to the consumer/purchaser to decide how to use the product. If you "misuse" a product, you void the warranty. That should be ALL a mfg can do if you don't comply with their suggested uses.

    If someone uses a vibrating phone to achieve orgasm, it's no business of the phone mfg to tell you you can't do that, and enforce it by giving you a shock or something negative when you use it that way.

    You must realize the insidious nature of this type of action on the part of Apple.

    This is corporate America regulating the way we live.     Get used to this cause this is the FUTURE of America and the path to Fascism.

    Corporations can now decide what we do with what we buy.

    So perhaps next you will buy a Panasonic TV (not American of course - we don't make TVs anymore) and that TV will only play certain channels that the manufacturer approves of. So this will be Corporate Censorship of our personal lives. It's here now....

    it's like walking into someone else's home with muddy shoes, proclaiming "it's just how I do it in my house". Not your decision to make, and it's there hardware.

    They haven't blocked porn.

    So the naked ladies shouldn't get any money for allowing you to see them naked?

    Getting paid to have sex with someone? I believe that´s called prostitution.

    I went to law school, (I didn´t attend, I just went there for lunch) and legally, all porn stars have to be volunteers, or it is considered prostitution.

    Also, playboy models are not the same as porn stars because posing nude for a photo is a lot different than having actual sex, in my humble opinion.

    but what do you think the rest of the job requirements are?

    I´ll give you a hint, they involve blowing an 80 year old man, and then changing his diaper.

    To many people, playboy isn't even considered porn.

    But Hef is still a polygamist.

    Not any more. I guess you didn't notice the MANDATORY nature of the Health Care Bill. It is the first time the government forced the public to purchase something from private companies whether they want to or not.

    That would be the foot in the door for future mandates from the United Corporations of America.

    And let's not forget something here. You may not buy products from The Corporation that is polluting your waterways, your air and the land around you, but it certainly affects your way of life, regardless.

    So you see whether YOU buy their products is irrelevant.

    In fact, to prove my point, how many Chinese can afford some of the products they produce for Americans? Yet they suffer the consequences of unbridled CORPORATE GREED and IRRESPONSIBILITY when it comes to the environment.

    So buying any particular product IS IRRELEVANT to the damage that Corporations do to this planet and life on it.

    while i certainly am opposed to censorship, i am also opposed to the exploitation of the human body. a line must be drawn somewhere. it all comes down to finding a happy medium. this ought to be the central focus of the discourse.

    I'm disturbed by people who want to deprive other people of certain types of pleasure they deem in some way immoral even though it harms no one.
