    Erm, no. You have to be 18 to be in porn here (and it can't be filmed in queensland), and I'm pretty sure it's against the law to pretend your 18 yo model is anything less than 18- you can't get a 19yearold with no tits and pretend she's "sweet 16"

    Australian Capital Territory. Technically, no states are allowed to sell real pr0n, just the territories (and no, apart from that I don't know the difference between a state and a territory here, since I don't really care). And the difference is here it's basically women posing, fron the waist up. They can't show penetration, cumshots, spread photos, or (not so sure about this one) an erect penis in porn you buy in Queensland (where I'm from these days). In the rest of the states it's simply no penetration and no spread shots I believe.

Making copies for noncommercial use in your home doens't mean you can make copies in your home for noncommercial use, it means you can make copies anywhere you like so long as they're only being used in your home, noncomercially :)

    The problem with this plan is simple. I don't care that much for Longhorn / OSXI / whatever it's gonna be. If it stops me downloading shit, I'll stick to XP, or linux. My OS having closed source doesn't bother me in the slightest. But if it won't let me download BitTorrent, it can go jump.

    What are you on about? Outside of states like Canada that explicitly give you those rights (if you buy AUDIO CDRs), that is 100% illegal. In the states, you're only allowed to make 1 BACKUP copy for yourself. You can't give it to your friends, your mum, or anything like that. You can copy a tiny piece of it to review, or to use as part of your PHD or class notes / whatever. In most western states (Australia etc) you don't even have that right. Here in .au (and yes I've read the statutes) you have no right to copy for personal use EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. Ripped your wu-tang CD to put on your iPod? You're a criminal.

    If you like porn, don't date women who don't.

    Really, most women don't mind you having porn, and a lot of the girls I know like to watch it too.

    These two are facts, if you like porn:

    Eventually you'll rebuild your porn collection, and:
    Eventually, she'll find it.

    There's no arguing with this. If she pulls out the old "aren't I enough for you?" bullshit, give her the "when I want to see some new boobs, I'll look at porn, when you want some new dick, you'll be out getting it from real guys, don't call me the bad guy" or the backup "are you so insecure? you're the only girl I want to be with, but I like watching people fuck" if you can't pull of the first one (not everyone can).

    I fuckin love porn. Every time I'm in the ACT (one of two states allowed to sell real pr0n here) I stock up. Dated a woman who hated it once, it's not worth it. In my experience, women who watch porn are better in bed too: they're more willing to do freaky shit for both of your benefits, rather than just as a favour to you which IMNSHO isn't much fun at all.
