I have not really taken any notice of this before as the only things I have made available are books (a quick look in the first few pages, establishes if a book shouldn't be sold in a particular Country); and sports programmes (no problems as far as I know).
However I am considering making my DvDs available to other Countries, previously I only tried to sell them to the UK and Ireland, knowing that the certification for them was okay there.
I have no idea how I would go about discovering if a film was legally available in a country or banned. One film that is an example is "The Life of Brian", which at the time of it's release caused wide-spread controversy. I was surprised to see when I searched the web that it was banned from being shown in Bournemouth until 2015 (35 years after it' s release).
Can anyone advise me on this please?
