Dopy - you are incorrect.
That's what we have the R18 regulations for. This only covers video. Most webmasters in the UK work to these guidelines.
BTW I do know of a case where a contact of mine who's an ex-playboy photographer and provided video for the Adult Channel on Sky was taken to court regarding producing hardcore material.... the police lost and he was awarded around £100,000 in damages.
Sarah is correct though... in respect, they only target extreme, kids and beast sites.
As for frowned upon... If anyone gets Film 4 Extreme which is basically a normal Sky Channel... watch out for Ai No Corrida - that shows erections, oral sex, ejeculations in the mouth and face, full penetration, group sex and insertions.... It's in Japanese but worth watching that film is rated as Certificate 18 NOT R18 which means for export and sale in licensed sex shops;)
It is actually very much like America in the respect of obscenity.... it's not illlegal until you appear in court and are found guilty.... look at the Paul Cambria, even he as a well known attorney can't say for sure what will be prosecuted in the states as obscene, he can only advise on past case history. This is why there is a grey area here too. They, the UK, do not want it defined so clearly.
Look at the Daily Sport's website - that's very hardcore and run by the newspaper guys in the UK. My advice - stick to the r18 guidelines....
