Simply The Best -Reputable Supplier?

[deg]

Has anyone ordered from" Simply The Best", Suite 88, Holland?

Are they reputable?

Also, in the sample catalogue I received, they say that they supply animal videos (they are Dutch after all), and I was wondering if it is best to stay clear of companies which sell this material alongside more mainstream tapes? I?m not sure of the legal situation in the Uk regarding this material (totally illegal? Only illegal to distribute?) but I am concerned about how safe it would be to buy from this company.

TIA for any info.

They were discussed here in this thread and this post

Personally, I would be worried about what I might receive (in the way of mailshots, etc.) if I gave my postal address to a company dealing in the type of material you mention - but that's not based on any particular experience, just healthy paranoia.

If you want that sort of material ( and then some !)then checkout
hwvmedia.com - They offer UK despatch.

Fascinating.

Anyone know what the legal situation is regarding this type of material? I'm guessing that performing (committing?) bestiality is illegal, so presumably this would make buying/owning videos of it also illegal. Or, due the strange/confused laws in the UK, would it only be illegal to sell, as it was with consensual adult material prior to the degree of liberalisation last year.

Anyone know?

I'm not a lawyer... but I think there is no separate law about this, unlike in the case of child pornography. So any prosecution would have to convince the jury the material was "obscene" - most juries won't need a great deal of convincing with regard to this kind of stuff, however.

There was a posting in alt.fan.televisionx recently from a customs worker (or so he claimed) who said that, whereas the normal customs procedure is to confiscate tapes and then wait for the addressee to initiate legal action to recover them, in the case of material involving children or animals they will initiate a prosecution themselves.

I would also add that we're pretty much off-topic, here, unless you can name the *British* female performers... No, forget I said that, please don't! I don't even want to think about it!

i seem to remember a court case of a few years back, involving ronnie sullivans parents, who had a porn vid biz that was busted.

much of the material concerned was of an, er, pet friendly nature and the jury did indeed decide that it was not obscene. i also recall a plod at the time saying that this was not a unique occurrence and it led him to wondering just what it was that could be assured of having a jury bring in a verdict of obscenity.

the comment you paraphrase from a supposed customs officer via aft is plain wrong, if made recently. hmc&e now permit entry of all video material that is compliant with the bbfc's guidelines on r18 certificated videos. check out uk.politics.censorship for some useful threads on this topic
