About UKAP

UKAP is a professional assocation which seeks to offer it's members the means by which they can more effectively compete in what is now a fiercely competitive global marketplace.

UKAP members benefit from hundreds of years of collective knowledge and experience from which comes the wisdom to not waste time on what has been tried before and failed and the competitive edge to quickly adopt what works.
UKAP members have contacts in all areas of the industry, from suppliers to performers and are able to call upon each other when a camera needs fixing, to where to find that exotic blown lighting bulb to that situation which we have all experienced, replacing a cancelled performer at the last minute!!

UKAP members primarily keep in touch through the member's area of the UKAP forum but UKAP also holds meetings on a quartely basis. Whilst these meetings are by no means obligatory, they do offer UKAP's membership the opportunity to affect how UKAP runs.
These meetings are also usually followed up with a party which is attended by many of the industry's top performers and thereby offers members not only the opportunity to build up valuable contacts but also the chance to unwind amongst their peers.

Regulators on Monday lowered the boom on two adult entertainment companies owned by British media mogul Richard Desmond, fining them about $80,000 over the lack of age-verification labels on websites and airing content that was too explicit for television.

Ofcom, which regulates online and broadcast content in the U.K., said Desmond-owned Portland Enterprises Limited was fined after a “Bathroom Bitches” was shown on Television X2 last September during the day hours.

Ofcom officials said an episode of “Bathroom Bitches” included scenes of a woman masturbating, earning the company a $42,000 fine. Television X2 includes primarily amateur content, including the “girl-next-door, U.K. housewives and suburban couples.

In the U.K., adult content operators can show encrypted programming only during the hours of 10 p.m.-5:30 a.m.

Another of Desmond’s properties, RHF Productions Limited, was fined more than $38,000 after its Red Hot services promoted websites without any age verification.

RHF Productions broadcast trailers over Red Hot TV, which included references to RHF's website address and a Portland Enterprises web address.

The websites featured content equivalent to R18-rated material, which could be viewed without registration, Ofcom said.

Ofcom also received complaints about explicit sexual content being shown during the daytime in promotional graphics on the Red Hot Channels.

The still pictures did not show any explicit content but did refer to URLs that led to websites containing explicit sexual material equivalent to R18-rated material, which could be seen by individuals under the age of 18.

"Licensees must ensure that they do not broadcast references to websites which give access to R18-rated equivalent material without appropriate protection," Ofcom said in a release.
