Porn Channels Face Probe

<snip>

TELEVISION pornography channels beamed into Australia via satellite will come under the spotlight after the broadcasting watchdog today announced an inquiry into the services.

The Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA) will contact overseas broadcasters, satellite providers and their Australian-based marketers to test whether they are breaking local laws.

The subscription channels, some of which show hard-core porn movies, are available to anyone with a satellite dish, decoder and smart card for as little as $4 a week.

The content has not been vetted by Australian censors, but it is illegal to show pornography which involves violence, coercion, demeaning behaviour or minors.

1. Probalicious

Probes are nothing new to this crowd.

It's time to legitimize this industry and get this particularly piece of sexual neurosis behind us.
