3g phones and the uk law

3g phones take vid clips

An interesting thought. These phones record video (moving film), and are designed to send this to others.

Now under UK law you are not allowed to distribute film to others unless its been through the film censors.

Thus everyone who uses a 3g phone will be committing an offence.

Any thoughts?????

Cinematograph Act 1952
- no exhibition of film without certificate.

I wonder if those involved with 3g phones have thought about this.

Now if 3g phones become popular and people start using video in large amounts (as they now do with text), this I would have thought could create a legal argument towards licencing DVD and so on.
