LONDON - Amazon.com UK, the English version of the online retailer which sells a number of different products including books, DVDs, toys and games, amongst other things, includes adult titles in its repertoire.

The Web site, www.Amazon.co.uk, includes an array of DVD erotica titles from Playboy and Penthouse for rental or purchase, along with a large number of classic and modern hardcore titles like Wicked Pictures’ Eye of the Beholder and Bareback Mountain from Diva Entertainment, as well as adult box sets. The UK online retailer offers both straight and gay titles.

I would be very suprised if it was actual hardcore as that was the whole point of the ruling earlier this year that upheld the law that actual physical goods that feature hardcore can only be sold in licenced sex shops. If they are bucking that ruling it should be an interesting fight.
