(129 posts)but having been in the business for over a decade, the stuff that is illegal is pretty rare. There are just too many willing participants to warrant any kind of large scale illegal operation. The truly illegal stuff is kept in the dark, I've seen some of it and as someone who's been around the production side of it, it's easy to tell the difference. It's not something you are going to find on a popular tube site. The problem is that for the casual viewer, or the non porn viewer, it can be very hard to tell the difference. We made one "rape porn" video that everyone who saw it was convinced was real. It was truly disturbing, total 'trigger warning' level stuff. Right up to the end where the girl starts laughing because she freaked out the other performers who started to think something was wrong. I imagine we saw a number of subpoenas for that.
I can't condemn an entire genre because there are some evil people making it also. Especially when banning it wouldn't necessarily change anything. The illegal stuff is still going to be found where it is found now. All that would happen is the legal stuff would become valuable and go underground too.
I'd be curious to see how many prosecutions the Scots had under their law. Are they even using the law, or is it a political "tough on crime" thing to make everyone happy?
That being said, I've also seen where the trafficking has gone. There is a whole new technology in porn that's sadly tailor made for it.
