- Erm, because they took the material from the horror flicks without
- asking??? Given what I've heard of the Worlock vid, copyright problems with
- the clips used seem as/more likely to be the source of a ban than gore
- content.

- What's always puzzled me is why Cabaret Voltaire have never had problems
- with *their* videos being banned. Here in the UK the _Cabaret Voltaire
- Presents_ video has an E (exemption) certificate because it's a music
- video, yet some of the stuff hidden away in those videos just couldn't be
- shown in the UK except in the sort of cinema whose clientele wears dirty
- macs and has hairy palms :-)
