Can anyone who knows anything about the law actually answer this question?
It just seems a bit odd that sky aren't allowed to transmit hardcore material, yet anyone in the UK can get a set up very easily to recieve Hardcore from Hotbird etc.
I have read the thread
http://www.satellites.co.uk/satelli...annels/8283-ofcom-adult-broadcasting-r18.html
which goes into detail about what happend back around 2000/3, as I understand it, the "proscribing (banning) foreign services" has been abondoned. Did that mean people were prosecuted before then for recieving hard core programming from European satellites?
However does that mean it is perfectly legal to recieve hard core services from Europe or have they been "decriminalised" or silently tolerated? Aren't being legal and being tolerared/decrminalised two different things?
They are loads of online companies selling smart cards for channels like private spice and s_x view HQ, which I presume means the govt gets a tax cut from every sale in the UK.
Someone please shed some light.
