YouPorn: Is it legal or illegal? Easily explained

If you search for free pornographic content on the Internet, you will find it on the supposedly legal website YouPorn. We'll tell you how legal YouPorn really is and what you should consider.

YouPorn: Is the website legal or illegal?

• Even if only pornographic content is offered on the YouPorn website, it is copyrighted material. At least that's what the German legal situation says.
• Take advantage of the YouPorn offer and move in a legal gray area. If you start a video, a volatile copy is created on your computer. In the opinion of numerous media lawyers, this is legal.
• However, there is also a limitation. The downloading of the videos is not permitted under Section 16 (1) UrhG (Copyright Act). The difference between streaming and download cannot be determined from the outside.

How secure is streaming on YouPorn?

• As a consumer, you are not required to know whether the content is legally or illegally offered on YouPorn. Only the provider can be held responsible for this.
• As a pure user of the website, you are more on the safe side. In the past, there were often warning waves like in the case of Redtube, but nobody was convicted.
• If you still want to be on the safe side, you should remain anonymous if possible. A user account for the portal is not exactly advisable. Another article provides more information on anonymity on porn websites.
