Urban Chick Supremacy Cell vs ATVOD

Big shout out to Jerry Barnett of Sex & Censorship and Itziko Urrutia of Urban Chick Supremacy Cell, the site that challenged ATVOD (the Authority for Television On Demand) who, upon losing have changed tactics from the failed "television like" defence to the all encompassing Audio Visual Media Services act (AVMS regulations) that passed into law on December 1st. If you think protesting against a government quango is pointless then consider that Itziko, rather than submit willingly and comply to the letter she received from ATVOD sought legal representation to appeal against them and won! Here they discuss aspects that precipitated the appeal that has forced some site owners to close down or sign up to ATVOD whose main remit was to regulate mainstream TV and online commercial broadcast interests and another to go off the range and suppress niche sites that are not available in plain sight that has to be paid for to access its content. Itzikos case proves that standing up against ATVOD with a strong defence gives you a good chance of winning. Follow Jerry Barnett @PornPanic and Myles Jackman @ObscenityLawyer
