Jump to navigation Jump to search

Pornography laws vary throughout the world. The production and distribution of pornographic films are both activities that are lawful in many, but by no means all, countries so long as the pornography features performers aged above a certain age, usually eighteen years. Further restrictions are often placed on such material. This page includes child pornography laws, which are typically included in the notes section of the list below.

The consumption and transmission of pornography are legal, but subject to an uneven patchwork of telecommunications standards, decency laws, postal regulations, and retail licencing laws. In many states, pornographic magazines, playing card decks, etc. are subject to an excise tax. A growing number of states have banned the sale of online pornography, and a federal ban is periodically proposed.
The commercial production of pornographic films is banned as a form of prostitution, but has been creatively decriminalised in a single state (Argévia) in a manner that has effectively created a regulated adult film industry there.
