About time...............
Most web and print, content coming out of Oz play by the rules.
http://www.adultwebmasters.net.au/images/forum/j/wtf/adult-oriented-material-597x343.jpg
But mobile phone have been easy pra for those that, well you know. We have all seen the adds on tv, ringtone lets say, dial this number for a new ringtone. You have to look quick but, in the so very fine print at the bottom of the screen is some of the terms. And most are subscription joins, X amount per message, per day. And make it so hard to see how to stop the pucking rebill.
So old mate rings the number for the new ringtone on the tv add, for what ever reason old mate does not read, can not read the fine print at the bottom of the screen in the add for the new ringtone, and is now stuck with a recurring bill to his/her phone account that they cannot stop.
naaaaapster..... and the crazy frog (was that it?), could come to mind and the uproar from moms and dads a while back, to do with my their kid joined or the kids mate rang the number and then they could not stop the recurring subscription payment being made against their kids fone account.
Now we have it all over again, but its them now, complaining,that their kid has not a crazy frog but a blonde with big tits having a party with herself and a red head, on the mobile......
Got to love blondes with bits tits having a party with herself and her red head mate, yea haaa, go hard girls... but one law says you have to be over 18+ to view it,,, on the web and in there abouts print...
So how have mobile phones got away with it for so long?
O well, looks like the party is over, from the mobile phone content providers, selling there shit to the underage. Which one could add that brings a bad name to all adult content providers.
This new law can only we think help clean up the industry.
But of course, the devil is in the fine print........
Watch this space.

New restrictions on online chatrooms, websites and mobile phone content will be introduced within a month to stop the underage from viewing unsuitable material.
From January 20 new laws will be in effect, imposing tougher rules for companies that sell entertainment-related content on subscription internet sites and mobile phones.
It is the first time content service providers will have to check that people accessing MA15-plus content are aged over 15 years and those accessing R18-plus and X18-plus content are over 18.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) will be able to force content providers to take down offensive material and issue notices for live content to be stopped and links to the content deleted.
But ACMA chairman Chris Chapman said adults will not be affected by the new laws.
"In developing these new content rules, ACMA was guided by its disposition to allow adults to continue to read, hear and see what they want, while protecting children from exposure to inappropriate content, regardless of the delivery mechanism," Mr Chapman said in a statement.
Providers of live services, such as chatrooms, must have their service professionally assessed to determine whether its "likely content" should be restricted.
Personal emails and other private communications would be excluded from the new laws and so would news or current affairs services.
