Watching FA/DE Bill armageddon/Gift Art on Hold
8 years ago
UK Digital Economy Bill, Armageddon
For those not in the know, the UK's Parliment has sent the DE Bill to Royal Assent, where it will become law. The Bill will force Adult/Porn and mature sites(like FA and weasyl) to put in Age Vertification and possibly Credit Card Confirmations, to help protect the UK's children from Porn/Terroism content. The Credit Card Rule has raised concerns as it can lead to fraud and although I'm against Porn, I won't be able to confirm Credit Card details as I don't own one!
It gets worst, if FA or Adult/Porn Sites refuse to add Age Verifications/Credit Card Confirmations in them, they get blocked by UK ISP's. Could we brits see this site blocked in the UK, by late Summer or Early Autumn 2017?
I hope FA survives, because its the only furry site I can trust(more than weasyl), also the artwork doesn't appear outside the site.
Possible US Internet Rule, as part of its "Closing Parts Of The Internet"
Its possible, that the US Government might follow a certain Rule as part of its "closing parts of the internet plan" then all the American Furry Sites, like FA and Weasyl will feel a much larger shockwave.
Just watch yourselves if it comes to that.
Watching FA, but will continue to fav pic's
As a precaution, I've removed all my Artwork(my own characters and Gift Art), with one exception. I'm keeping "The Macro Giant's Melee: Round 2, Parts 1-4" in my Gallery on here, in case this site abides to the DE Bill or survives the restrictions then I'll need access to my Gallery/Account. I'll continue to Fave Pic's on here, but won't be uploading until I know the dust has settled in months time.
My Artwork brought to Meets/Cons
I'll still be drawing my own Artwork, in fact in the last 2 weeks I drew an Annual with 3 stories and a Traditional Poster. I'm going to be showing these at the Mancs Furmeet on the 14/05/17. It has also been planned for me to visit my first York Meet and that will be in Late August, I'll be bringing this May Half-Term's/Summer Holiday Pic's with me. So furs can see my art whilst the DE Bill causes order.
Gift Art, Mega Gift/Gift Series and Birthday Gifts on Hold
As bad as it might sound, I've decided to not draw any more Gifts, whilst the DE Bill creates restrictions online. This means that I'm putting the planned "Gift Series 4", "Mega Gift 1A" and "Lyra's Real Nightmare" on hold until I can be sure that this site isn't going to be blocked! I could continue to draw them, but if the site does get block, then I won't be able to reveal the
comic Gift. So all Gifts are on hold for Now!
I hope FA survives!
