Personally I have no idea, though my thought it you might have more chance of a reply if you're more specific in your question.

They are ceasing their service to the UK. If you are currently a customer your subscription will not be renewed. I understand their line is that they hope to resume some time in the future when attitudes are hopefully more liberal.

Athos, where did you find out this info.? I realise that the UK authorities are FAR from perfect, but I wouldn't have though that there was much to worry about in movies from Private???

TIA.

Hi Struan - I had an email from Privateathome last month saying they were temporarily suspending their service to the UK with the implication, I thought, that they had perhaps been put under pressure from some quarters.

My guess would be that the Royal Mail might have been less than helpful. I think it is technically illegal to put "obscene" material into the postal system though I don't think this has ever been enforced.

I very much hope Privateathome do restart some time soon or somebody else starts up a similar service.

Thanks for the info.

AFAIK, if material is equivalent to R18, which most of Privates would be, then it is not obscene, so I don't know why the postal service would have a problem? Many UK authorities seem to be a ‘law unto themselves’ though when it comes to censorship etc. :(

Of course, the VRA (another piece of dreadful legislation) makes it illegal to supply R18 videos by mail order within the UK (can only be legally bought, in person, from a licensed sex shop), but Customs have stated that it is legal to import R18 equivalent material, which then must go through the postal system !!!

I also hope they get up and running again soon.
