- unless people stop buying 'copied porn' and start buying from legal sources, sooner or later there is going to be no new porn to copy, (other than home made videos)as it will not be financially viable to produce new material......so who are the losers?.....the people who buy porn.
I would like to think that people who enjoy porn and 'support' a porn board and the producers and models who contribute to it, would all be of the same thinking.....but I'm probably dreaming!!!

Re: british porn
Well yes, you are right, it is not a legal definition, but it is
basically HARDCORE, with no cuts and it is legal in other countries apart from the UK. R18 has only been around for a short while, all the HARDCORE before the invention of R18 was by some referred to as xxx.

Re: british porn
This is UK law.
I am going by what was said very recent on ch5.
It said that you have to have a license and even though you can pay over the phone or net you have to pick it up from the shop.
http://www.bbfc.co.uk/
From the site:
I want to sell foreign DVDs in the UK...
A foreign DVD offered for sale in the UK is likely to be illegal under the Video Recordings Act (VRA) 1984 unless its content (including any additional material) has been classified by the BBFC. The DVD must also be labelled in accordance with Video Recordings (Labelling) Regulations 1985 &1998 (including the unique registration number). You would also be advised to contact FACT to ensure that there are no copyright issues.
I want to import foreign DVDs for my own personal use...
It is legal to import foreign DVDs for the sole use of the importer. However, the disc must not subsequently be supplied to a third party in contravention of the terms of the Video Recordings Act 1984. The importer should also be aware that any obscene or illegal material may be seized and subjected to forfeiture by Customs & Excise (Customs Consolidated Act 1959).

Re: british porn
Allan, what is it about the words 'in Canada' that you don't understand? You also seem never to have heard of buying from overseas. I got two classic French videos from a site in the USA this morning. Customs had opened the package and passed them because if they had been submitted to the bbfc they would have got an R18 certificate.
If you read more posts and made fewer posts of your own you might learn something. You don't have to post every fleeting thought that passes through your brain.

r18 info from http://www.bbfc.co.uk/
To be supplied only in licensed sex shops to adults of not less than 18 years.
The 'R18' category is a special and legally restricted classification primarily for explicit videos of consenting sex between adults. Such videos may be supplied to adults only in licensed sex shops, of which there are currently about 90 in the UK. 'R18' videos may not be supplied by mail order.
The following content is not acceptable
any material which is in breach of the criminal law
material likely to encourage an interest in abusive
sexual activity (eg paedophilia, incest) which may include depictions involving adults role-playing as non-adults
the portrayal of any sexual activity, whether real or simulated, which involves lack of consent
the infliction of pain or physical harm, real or (in a sexual context) simulated. Some allowance may be made for mild consensual activity
any sexual threats or humiliation which do not form part of a clearly consenting role-playing game
the use of any form of physical restraint which prevents participants from withdrawing consent, for example, ball gags
penetration by any object likely to cause actual harm or associated with violence
activity which is degrading or dehumanising (examples include the portrayal of bestiality, necrophilia, defecation, urolagnia)
The following content, subject to the above, may be permitted
aroused genitalia
masturbation
oral-genital contact including kissing, licking and sucking
penetration by finger, penis, tongue, vibrator or dildo
non-harmful fetish material
group sexual activity
ejaculation and semen
These guidelines make no distinction between heterosexual and homosexual activity.

Re: british porn
Yes you can buy from overseas (see my post http://bgafd.co.uk/forum/read.php?f=1&i=42732&t=42703 )
I would guess this is a legall loop hole. I would think that if you find a country where somone (a business) can buy porn cheap and does not have any licences needed to sell porn, that you could set up a site and sell it from that country.
You could take the orders via the internet in the uk, and pop over to that country once a month or employ somone to post them from that country. Eaither way, its far cheaper than having to get a shop and pay for a licence.

Re: r18 info from http://www.bbfc.co.uk/
I posted this as somone questioned about buying porn mail order.
I posted this to show what the law states on this.
I do not think it does harm to post it, for those who have not seen it.

Re: british porn
I'll say it in simple language. Shut up for a bit before you annoy more people by telling them what they already know.
