The phenomenon of "death by success" -- in which a website is brought down by strong user interest -- is well known online but has taken a new twist in China.
Starting next Monday, official news agency Xinhua reports, Chinese internet porn websites that attract too much traffic could land their owners in jail for life, along with hosting service owners and others "who knowingly aid the production and dissemination of pornographic materials."
The threshold for prosecution under the proclamations, issued jointly by the Supreme People's Court and Supreme People's Procuratorate, will be 250,000 user sessions.
"If a pornographic website has been clicked for more than 250,000 times, the case would be considered 'very severe' and relevant people would be applicable with sentences of life imprisonment, according to the interpretations," Xinhua reported.
While targeted at commercial porn sites, the edict will also sweep up casual providers in "grave cases."
China's criminal law already outlaws the production and dissemination of pornographic materials.
Porn providers who run mobile phone and "phone sex" operations will also be covered by the edict.

Due to events not affiliated in any way to the topic of this thread, I have just been informed I will not have the financial means to play MxO.
Damn commies and their upstanding morals.

Um, I'm just a wee bit confused...
Because the thread went in another direction, you can't play MxO??

I think we all need to chip in and buy Oz a funny bone. ;)
-
I got a good laugh out of that nobu...
-
I didn't get it. Nobu can't afford to play, or was it some secret joke in there?
Even if he did get busted in china for 250.000+ on his porn site, he would still have money wouldn't he?
Me...fool...

Amazing how easy it is to link up anything with porn.

NOO!!! They're taking away my only means of survival!!....... uhh.. I mean.... aw crap

Oz, Orasu, I'm going to level with you: I sort of, kind of, put all my financial recourses into Asian Pornography, with a strong emphasis in Hong Kong.
In fact, the reason my screen name is Nobuyuki is not because of some anime character, but because it was the only way I could get Nobuyuki Nakunaga (The Ron Jeremy of Japan) to perform on my website. He thought it would be a "Lucky chance to advertise. Brand recognition super great!"
With the Chinese government soon on my tail, I will have to shut down all markets in the sector. Over 70% of my income will be lost, and I'll be bleeding out loans until my Taiwan and Japanese sectors can hold their own weight ( I'm not sure if I even want to look North Korea again).
By the time I surface from this giant financial debt, The Matrix Online will no longer be necessary, as fanboys will have already constructed a 1/10th scale of the original Matrix, powered not by people, but by sunshine and dreams. They break ground mid-November, deep in the heart of Canada (We kept those guys around for something).
Until then, take care, Angels! I hope the reds won't take from you what they've taken from me.

Thy hour of reckoning has come, Orasu! Draw your +2 sword of Undying Gayness, while I draw my stave of +5 Holy Flameness Batman! You shalt no longer sing this "Banana Phone" ballad, for I shall smite thee and all of your ungodly homoertociness!
and I cannot fuckin believe banana phone has come back up. That is the most stupid thing I had ever seen. I did, however, laugh vehemently when orangefro reminded me of it....
