Even within the US, new age verification laws are making it harder to access pornography. In those situations, a VPN would be a useful tool, but we must stress that we are not advocating breaking any laws and must caution that doing so can have serious consequences. Pornographic content accounted for most videotape sales during the late 1970s. [77] The pornography industry has been considered an influential factor in deciding the format wars in media, including being a factor in the VHS vs. Betamax format war (the videotape format war) [177] [178] and the Blu-ray vs. HD DVD format war (the high-def format war). [177] [178] [179] Piracy, the illegal copying and distribution of material, is of great concern to the porn industry.

Pornography in the United States is legal provided it does not depict minors, and is not obscene. [204] The community standards, as indicated in the Supreme Court decision, of the 1973 Miller v. California case determine what constitutes as "obscene". [204] The US courts do not have jurisdiction over content produced in other countries, but anyone distributing it in the US is liable to prosecution under the same community standards. [204] As the courts consider community standards foremost in deciding any obscenity charge, the changing nature of community standards over the course of time and place makes instances of prosecution limited.

Much that has happened now in the Western world with respect to sexual advances is directly due to steps that we took." — Bob Guccione, Penthouse founder in 2004.

[106] Hugh Hefner, in 1953 published the first US issue of the Playboy, a magazine which as Hefner described is a "handbook for the urban male". The magazine contained images of nude women along with articles and interviews covering politics and culture. [76] Twelve years later, in 1965 Bob Guccione in the UK started his publication Penthouse, and published its first American issue in 1969 as a direct competitor to Playboy. In its early days, the images of naked women published in Playboy did not show any pubic hair or genitals. Penthouse became the first magazine to show pubic hair in 1970. Playboy followed the lead and there ensued a competition between the two magazines over publication of more racy pictures, a contest that eventually got labelled as the " Pubic wars". [106]Porn creates relationship problems. Wrong. Porn is the easy and convenient way to make an exit to avoid the problems in the relationship but it doesn’t create relationship problems.

UNICEF supports the efforts of governments to ensure that children are protected from harmful content in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the authoritative guidance from the Committee on the Rights of the Child. [1] UNICEF also recognizes the tremendous opportunities that the digital environment provides for children’s learning, play, creativity, participation, and socialization. Children should be able to access and safely engage in the digital environment without being harmed by exposure to pornography. It is also important that the protection of children from harmful content does not unjustifiably impinge on other rights children have under the Convention. [2] We know that conversations with young people, parents and carers and teachers are paramount to giving children the information, support and skills that they need. A large amount of pornography is available online with little or no protections to ensure that those accessing it are old enough to do so. In turn, this is changing the way young people understand healthy relationships, sex and consent. In response the Government brought forward legislation in the Digital Economy Act to combat these changing attitudes and ensure that what is unacceptable offline is unacceptable online.
