In its annual report released today, ATVOD said that the U.K.'s Crown Prosecution Service has the authority to disrupt the business of non-U.K. hardcore porn websites by blocking payment to the sites.
The parent company of affiliate program MNSCash.com has breached federal regulations by not registering its websites and paying fees for video-on-demand programming, ATVOD officials say.
ATVOD, the authority that regulates video-on-demand in the U.K., says that for a third successive year, the regulator has cut fees that website, IPTV and mobile operators must pay to stream content.
ATVOD, the authority that regulates video-on-demand in the U.K., has disclosed that three U.K. online adult companies were determined to have violated Rule 11, which requires that website operators make sure those under 18 can't access hardcore porn.
ATVOD, in a plan sent last week to Maria Miller, the secretary of U.K.'s Department of Culture, Media and Sport, urged the government to target banks and payment processors that "facilitate the provision to U.K. consumers" of porn without age verification.
ATVOD, the authority that regulates video-on-demand in the U.K., disclosed Wednesday that 23 U.K. porn sites have been investigated over Rule 11 violations in recent months.
