It certainly sounds illegal... but surely it's not a UK site and will

therefore be governed by another country's law?  UK adult webmasters can't

get away with anything stronger than 'soft' pornography because of the 1969

Obscene Publications Act.  Please could I have the URL so I can see where

it's hosted?
