Jaques,
So anyone else can legally supply a R18 DVD by post except British film-makers who can only sell to mainly the Soho shops! I smell the sickly smell of corruption here. Who benefits financially from this unjuste situation? Think about it.

Stinks doesn't it?

[Jacques]

Not UK to UK, but Europe to UK yes, providing the content is of a standard comparable to R18.

If you are selling clips/downloads and not DVD's then that is OK - no problem there, the problem comes down to 'physical' media.
