Pornography in Pakistan is illegal and is subject to several legal provisions. However, it is easily accessible in most parts of the country, particularly in privately owned video shops and through the Internet. Pornographic movies are commonly referred to as Blue print movies or Tripple (derived from Triple X). Erotic dance is available in DVDS and CDs which are locally known as the Mujra. Till 2000, Pornography in print media was popular and available at old magazine shops and sensual modeling magazines were published from Karachi. Now the interest in these things is finished after the trend of porno CDs and DVDs.
In 2010 a report by Fox News claimed that Pakistan was one of the countries that topped the list in the world in terms of internet pornographic and "sexy web searches." The report was based on statistical data acquired from Google Trends, although Google later pinpointed that the results are not necessarily always accurate. Despite this, the country still figures foremost in terms of pornographic searches; following the incident, a whole new debate opened in the media, newspapers and society about the widespread viewership of pornography in Pakistan.
In September 2011 a hacker claiming to be from Pakistan defaced the official website of the Supreme Court of Pakistan as a means to raise attention and call the Chief Justice to permanently ban and block access to pornographic content on the internet in the country. A month later in October 2011, the website of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) was also defaced by the same hacker, with similar demands this time in which the hacker demanded a blanket ban on all websites containing explicit material.
In November 2011 the PTA announced that it was in the process of banning the 1,000 most frequented pornographic websites in Pakistan. The measure was taken to curb pornography. A report in 2012 said that with many porn websites banned in the country, a few people were turning to purchasing pornographic DVDs in places such as Karachi's Rainbow Centre, which has long been the largest hub of video piracy and CD distribution in Pakistan.
