SOPA is the end of the world
Posted in: Business, Society, Legal, misc, Society, Technology | Comments Off
SOPA, or Stop Online Piracy Act in its full form is an American bill. SOPA is a bill drawn up by the royalty collection agencies in America, its not a brand new idea. Versions of this bill have been put into place
Sinde Law
Sinde Law is seen as the Spanish version of America’s SOPA bill. It gives copyright holders the legal grounds to shutdown websites hosting or linking too illegal material
The detail of Sinde
Before a site can be shutdown, it must be given 10 days notice to remove any illegal material. If the site owner does not respond or cooperate a Spanish judge can order ISPs and other web hosts to stop providing access to said site. This means that ISPs and hosting providers will require a means of blocking portions of the internet according to the wishes of a judge. Of course its not like there’s ever been cases of laws being used outside of their intention..

5 reasons English students should try escorting
Posted in: Business, Adult, escort, London, Society, Roles, Society | Comments Off
Bachelor of sex?
I previously posted an article tackling the issue of why students in England should reconsider becoming prostitution as a means of paying for their education. Part way through that post I suggested that it may be in their interests to spend some time effectively whoring themselves out for money.
Let’s be clear on a few things before we go any further
- By student, I mean a well rounded higher education level student over the age of 18
- I am in no way suggesting this is for everyone
- I am not trying to pressure or coerce anyone one into joining the sex industry (or any kind of working environment)
- This is entirely tongue in cheek
Let’s begin…

5 reasons students should not become escorts
Posted in: Adult, escort, Society, Roles, Society | Comments Off
Sex, study ....... profit?
There’s been a bit of a hoo haa in the news about the amount of English students turning to escorting and other jobs in the sex industry to fund their studies. There’s a whole attitude of shame on the sex industry and the people who use it. I think it’s partly to avoid the issue of asking why are students in a position were they are trying to better themselves, but unable to do so because of financial restrictions.
Anyway, for any of you lovely students thinking of doing a spot of escorting here are a couple of reasons as to why you should re-consider your journey into hot steamy adult world of non-stop paid sex with amazingly attractive, rich well spoken people.

Posted in: Advertising, Business, Adult, escort | Comments Off
So you know that being an escort can bring in a lot of money, you’ve been doing it for a while but like any business model you’ve noticed that not everything you do is generates equal amounts of profit. This post will be looking at how to increase profits from escorting by getting better (more likely to book) clients to view your ads

Domain prices to rise – Verisign press release
Posted in: Business, Technology | Comments Off
Verisign have put out a press release announcing the increase in price of .com and .net domain names.
Continued strong global Internet usage growth, along with increasingly powerful distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks leveled against all parts of the Internet’s critical infrastructure, have dramatically increased the demands on Internet infrastructure providers such as Verisign. In the last five years, the volume of Domain Name System (DNS) queries on Verisign’s global Internet infrastructure has more than doubled, increasing to an average daily query load of 57 billion in the first quarter of 2011. Future growth is expected to occur at an even faster pace. Verisign’s infrastructure has maintained 100 percent operational security, accuracy and stability for more than a decade due to continued innovation and investment in the infrastructure.
As of January 15th of 2012, the cost of registering a .com and .net domain name will be rising $0.51 (about 33 pence), we expect that some domain registars will take this as an opportunity to increase their pricing. How does this effect you? Read at Xchangebit (http://www.xchangebit.com/blog/domain-prices-to-rise-verisig-press-release)

A lot of escorts are making their first journey into getting their business up and running hit the same stumbling block.
