Channels like that would be ok if they were free-to-air, but to charge money is a joke.

OK Neil - let's get all the big players together and go to the High Court and ensure that we get a Judicial Review of Ofcon's code so that we can watch what we want to watch. But while they rake it in selling a fake product it is never going to happen. Now cut off their money......

But half the British porn industry was built on conning people ... so why change a glorious tradition. They operate on the premise there are always enough suckers coming along to con.

Actually Neil, I would like to hear your defence - in the interests of balance.

Wether its good or bad is immaterial although the advertising lure used would be best described as misleading IMHO

Its major selling point is its ease of access

Millions are able at a whim to subscribe for a relatively small fee compared to other forms of erotica

The fact that its softcore means its a rarity in a saturated market of hardcore produce

For the amount being asked to sign-up you really shouldn't expect too much new produce

I've only ever seen a handful of clips from these channels so produce wise can't really comment but the one gripe I've seen repeated by so many first time subscribers is

"Wheres the harder content that was promised in the intro" ?

Great way to get guys/girls to subscribe but once burned their not likely to re-subscribe are they?

if you accept it for what it is, softcore entertainment, then it's ok. but showing wall to wall neil down is taking the piss !! it wasn't any good when it was first aired years ago and the newer shows are far better.
