Can any shed any light on this please, a client of my has spoke with his lawyer and the lawyer is not really 100% sure

Any input would be well received, like can you host from etc?

This could be really bad news for me and a lot of other people. Not funny!

Section 12 of the Video Recordings Act, 1984 states that it's an offence to "supply" videos outside the BBFC regulations.

The Act was written before the Internet but the BBFC has recently updated the Regulations.

The regulations say that, "supply" of R18 (that means hard core) videos is strictly limited to the 90 licenced shops. There is a slight lack of clarity about whether streaming via the internet is acceptable - but, probably not.
I'm very keen to hear from other people in the industry....
Is it illegal to offer viewing (via streaming) or downloading of R18 videos over the internet.
