The Founder

business 09:18:00
From Shanghai to Mumbai. From London to Paris. From New York to Stockholm. We all know it.

Sztuka Kochania. Historia Michaliny Wisłockiej

censorship 23:37:00
Let's be honest. People have problems with talking about sex. They have difficulty expressing their needs, they are very often frustrated, unsatisfied, looking for something that their partner is unwilling to give them, or are simply ashamed.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers.

They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
