When submitted to the BBFC the work had a running time of 78m 1s. To obtain this category cuts of 15m 35s were required. The cuts were Compulsory. Cuts required to sight of abusive and potentially harmful activity (in this instance choking and breath control during sex) in line with BBFC guidelines and policy and the Video Recordings Act 1984. Additional cuts were also required to sight of activity in which consent was not established (in this instance a performer shackled and wearing a ball gag) in line with BBFC guidelines and policy. Pirates (Digital Playground) When submitted to the BBFC the work had a running time of 269m 17s. To obtain this category cuts of 94m 13s were required. The cuts were Compulsory. Cuts are required to potentially harmful and abusive images - knife blade pressed on nipple / breast; and images which render woman incapable of giving or withdrawing consent - bound and gagged while engaged in sexual activity. These cuts are in accordance with the Video Recordings Act 1984 ('harm to potential viewers...or to society through the depiction of human sexual activity') and BBFC guidelines and policy. Cuts are also required to sight of urination during masturbation in accordance with current interpretation of Obscene Publications Act 1959.

| struan Member SCOTLAND 242 Posts 8/02 | Posted - Feb 19 2006 : 6:23AM Currently, it is only illegal to distribute or import material in excess of R18, but purchase within the UK or ownership was/is not illegal; Unfortunately, the UK & Scottish governments launched a joint ‘consultation’ last year on their proposals to criminalise the possession of what they referred to as ’Extreme’ porn – They listed 4 options for action to take, and even of they went for their preferred option, some consensual adult material would be included. The worst case scenario, option 1 if I remember correctly, would result in the inclusion of everything in excess of R18. So, mere possession of e.g. Pirates would see the owner liable to a (probable) prison sentence of up to 3 years!!! My guess, however, is that they will go for their preferred option, which is bad enough!
