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!

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

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 ;-((
