Please take serious note of Riley's comments. H/C or otherwise YOU will also be in the dock for selling uncertified videos.

Now if some 'concerned citizens' contacted Trdaing Standards anonymously about 'filth' being sold at such and such bootsale thats another matter....

If mainstream Hollywood studio's can't & won't ever stop it, porn studio's stand ever lesser chance, there everywhere, there are at least 3 or 4 Asian guys (in Essex as well) walking up and down the highstreet selling mainstream films, and "jiggy jiggy" dvds, during the week, anything you want, most if not all of the producers dvds on here as well, bootsales like Tel said, for every one that get's pinched, another 20 come along, and you'll find if you approach one, and start something, there in with the guys that run the bootsales, so you could have more trouble than it's worth. Within a week of Star Wars epsisode 3 coming out, a perfect 5.1 dvd surfaced, everyone knows someone who can get snyde dvds. If you enjoy it, and make some profit, may as well put up with it.

Hi Bill

terry's right pirates can work in your favour, when we first started we made
a 3 hour sample with our phone number going through & took it to the local pirates & asked them to shift them as it was cheap advertising & got us well known through out Britain within 2yrs & didn't cost us a penny. They came back to us for the full length films so everyone was happy,
make friends with them & do the same or certificate them & still have everyone pirate them.

Technically speaking, even running off a copy of your mates kids bar mitzvah and charging for the tape is illegal. Theres no way around the video recordings act unless its illegal Bill. I doubt you'd even get an exemption cerificate even if its not got sex on it. it has sexual references which will garner it an 18 certificate at best.
