AN online adult store has lost a legal challenge to Australia’s film classification system after arguing that most adults are no longer offended by seeing actual sex in movies.

The Federal Court today dismissed an appeal by Adultshop.com against an X rating given to the adult film Viva Erotica.

Adultshop.com had been fighting a legal battle for the movie to be given an R18+ rating, following a 2006 decision by the Classification Review Board to give Viva Erotica the more restrictive X18+ rating.

The application by Adultshop.com for a review of the board’s decision was unsuccessful and in November last year Federal Court Judge Peter Jacobson upheld the board’s ruling.

Today the full bench of the Federal Court dismissed Adultshop.com’s appeal against Justice Jacobson’s judgment.”
