So at its most basic level images similiar to Hustler would be classed as unsafe, while Playboy type images would be accepted?
Ok then - would blacknight accept such content on their servers then?
Yes and no.
As you know from previous conversations we've had on various mailing lists, blogs, forums etc., Irish law in this area is a mess.
If you ignore the law there are also societal issues to deal with. While it may be 2007 I still get the distinct impression that Ireland as a society is still far too prudish compared to many of our European neighbours.

Online sex shops are valid businesses, so I have no issue with us hosting them. As long as they aren't posting hardcore content that any child could access then I don't see a problem.
For anything more mature / hardcore I can't see an obvious issue with hosting it on our network , but I'd be very wary of hosting it on a normal shared server.
I don't think the local church would appreciate being on the same server as an Irish version of Playboy
