Hi,

I have an adult .in name (anal .in), are there any regulations concerning mature content for .in domains?

thanks.

I don't know of any regulations for adult content for .in

Try going on Google and typing in ( Rules and regulations for .in ccTLD )

If you find something out, let us know. Don't be ( Anal ) ha! ha!

Based on the above I would say that porn is to be avoided in that extension.

as far as I knew they would delete adult names

Why don`t you just write to the Registry?

Adult content / nudity is not allowed on .in domains.

Although there is no law which defines which words are s**ually offensive words while defining the guidelines,
It depends on how the content defines the domain.
I was also reading if the adult content is more with educating the audience, awareness , it is fine (only if the content and the agency provding content is registered as a legal entity in the mentioned business like doctors, NGO etc)

Excerpt from an interview with Pravin Anand (Pravin Anand is known as the leading IP lawyer in India)

Adult web sites are restricted as being against public morals and decency. Most registrars and hosts will not register or host web sites which contain adult contents including pornography, warez sites etc. However the discretion as to what the “adult” material is has been left entirely to the registrars and hosts of web sites.

Also, if we see the hosting companies, even they have not defined what is Adult correct/acceptable website.

(B) THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE ************ SERVERS WILL NOT CONTAIN ADULT-ORIENTED MATERIAL OR MATERIAL WHICH SOME INDIVIDUALS MAY DEEM OBJECTIONABLE; OR

Hmmm .. What to do with adulttube.in

Surely it could be a youtube.com type of site with funny jokes or material that borders on obscenity in India. Do you have a link to what is considered 'obscene' in India any where ?

Example : Jokes With Bad Language ... Any Skin Shown ... Racy T.V. Commercials Banned in the U.S. etc
