Question: Exactly what law did Russell Brand and J Ross break!?
The papers keep mentioning that what they did on the show was illegal!. Was it!? What law did they break!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Section 43 of the Telecommunications Act 1984!.

It is illegal to make unsolicited obscene telephone calls or to leave obscene messages on an answering machine!. However, the definition of obscene is "likely to corrupt or deprave"!. Brand and Ross's defence would be that although the message was vulgar, it was not obscene!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I would guess at the law called 'Breach Of The Peace' or it might just be general harrassment!.
It's for that reason that prank calls are kinda illegal!.

For the record, I thought the whole thing was hilarious!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

the unwritten law of decencies, and the broadcasting standards rules and just for being edgy and idiotic, and also for telling the world who you shagged and what you did , never a good ideaWww@Enter-QA@Com

I believe they didn't identify themselves also they didn't mention that the call was being recorded furthermore to hurl abuse down the phone at someone can be classed as threatening behavior!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

they humiliated and embarrassed someone in the name of entertainment not against the law maybe but still a sackable offence surelyWww@Enter-QA@Com

for it to be funny all they had to do was make the audience believe they were real prank calls - they didn't have to leave real messages on his answerphone - which is harassment - there are laws against nuisance calls!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

The 1994 Telecommunications act makes it illegal to make offensive/ abusive/threatening etc!. calls Www@Enter-QA@Com

It is against the law to make obscene telephone calls!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
