 Hiya Frank... 

 FC> AFAIK, it's illegal under the Obscene Publications Act in the UK to

I believe it's to transfer and not to own .... I could be wrong however!

 FC> stored. The illegality obviously doesn't include topless or nude

It can do though Frank. The law is very very unclear as to what counts as 
Pornographic. 

 FC> High Court order. I also can't believe that the UK Police would

 FC> time, either.

If there had been reason to monitor it in the first place I too very much 
doubt it would be for such a long time. If there was cause to make an arrest 
or whatever I'm sure it would have been long before 2 years was up. 

Rumours will have their day though ;-((
