He will have to compete with the likes of EroDVD for price and service.

Boxcovers are also useful so we have some idea of what we're trying to buy. With so many different versions of sometimes the same title throughout Europe, it can be hard to see exactly what we're buying..

I second Gabriel's idea that it might be best to host the website outside of Germany elsewhere in the EU, so he can show boxcovers. There are several MMV and Magma titles I'd like to buy that are either unavailable or too expensive through my usual Euro channels.

cheers,

reason for this is to prevent minors from getting access to porn.

German customs/post office will be looking for imported porn rather than checking out packages that are being exported. This is a problem left to the authorities to where the package is bound.

first of all, this is not a question about being right or wrong, correct or incorrect. It´s a question of how the existing laws are handled by those who made them. In terms of practicabilty the laws - which you stated absolutely correct, thus given - can not be handled according to the words of the law, simply because of the fact that there is not enough manpower at the Department of Public Prosecution. And, second to that, not enough interest in the matter of prosecuting porn mailers, because there are so many crimes much uglier than that committed these days. Hence in real life, no porno that is sent from one place in Germany to another place in Germany will catch the interest of any public prosecutor, as long as it is packed well enough to not display it´s real content. Same applies if you sent to any place within the European Union (as long as the destination country has signed the customs clearity agreements, which most of the E.U. countries already have).

So, my statement was made from under the knowledge of what happens in reality and not about what might could happen in theory, but I aprreciate your concern anyway.

And, your example with custom problems only appeals, when you have someone from outside the E.U. sent porno to your flat/house. You can not compare that situation to the one we are talking about in this very thread. Customs have no right to control any package that is sent from one E.U. country to another E.U. country (as long as both countries have signed the customs agreements I already mentioned above).

Habe fertig!

Hmmmmm, why isn´t that a miracle to me? In the U.K. they still have their own currency and not the Euro, so it looks like the Brits prefer their own ways of handling things, whatever.

For me it would be far more important that the prices are good. Here in germany porndvds are way too expensive. For instance, I'm looking for the 'My Plaything'-series but I'm absolutely not willing to pay at least 40 E (+shipping) since that's far more than I'd pay if I order only 1 disc in the usa including the shipping.

What prices would he have?

[Link]

be shure that a "My plaything" DVD won´t cost you 40,00 Euro. I believe it would be around 30,00 Euro (at least from the usual prizes I know). That´s for example the prize he asks for a brandnew EvilEmpire DVD (and those located in Germany know that most stores ask 40,00 to 50,00 Euro for an EvilEmpire DVD).

And far as I know, prizes would definetely be lower than at EroDVD.

Far as I heard, the website should be up in the weeks to come. If anyone wants to contact Thomas earlier, feel free to drop me an email and I will forward it to Thomas, no problem.
