Isn't it about time this law was updated?...it's been on the law books for over 50 years!

Seem to remember GM Fashions who made & distributed Shiny,Rubberist & GFP publications got raided & their stock seized in the mid 90's &,despite the trial being thrown out,they never got their seized items returned.

Today, the 3rd January 2012 marks the first day of the most significant obscenity trial of the decade; which will ultimately clarify the law on the representation of gay fisting, urolagnia as well as BDSM.

The defendant in the case, Michael Peacock, is charged on indictment with numerous offences under the Obscene Publications Act for distributing supposedly obscene DVDs.

The Obscene Publications Act 1959 features the contentious and ambiguous “deprave and corrupt” test, whereby an article (for example a DVD) is obscene if it tends to deprave and corrupt the reader, viewer or listener.
