Please read below in BOLD On 3 February 1984, Grant was imprisoned for distributing ‘video nasty’ Nightmares in a Damaged Brain (1981) on video. Grant was sentenced to 18 months in prison (later reduced to 12 months) for being in "possession of over 200 copies of an obscene article for publication for gain", he was found guilty under section two of the obscene publications act. Grant’s defense lawyer during the trial was Geoffrey Robertson. After Grant’s imprisonment, World of Video 2000 (and its parent company April Electronics) were placed into liquidation. |

The big problem now, as back then, is the definition of obscene and to prove such in a court of law. What is obscene? It is different for every person. I may think something is fine that you believe is obscene. Who's right? And why? 30 years ago NIADB was classified obscene. How could anyone declare it so, what criteria was utilized and how does it become a standard to be measured against? It can't. Full stop. History proves it. To put a man in jail for owning a film(s) that is available all over Europe and America, is a deplorable misuse and interpretation of the act. This is government controlled propaganda enforced by the courts. Utterly shameful. Now obscene material regarded by the act is generally pornographic in nature and of the more extreme variety, I'm sure some members here, cough-MTDS-cough-Inspector-cough, will know far, far, faaaaarrrrr more than me!

That is what the law said back then and when you break the law you must pay the price. If you are fined then you pay it or you do not,if you pay it then no problem but if you do not then there is a penalty for not paying that fine right? |

So the people who were punished, whether it was a fine or jail time, never should have been. That dude lost a year of his life because of a government fuk up. He did nothing illegal, yet you think it was just?!
