Proposed new legislation problem for porn shoots?
Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2008 7:28 pm
Has anybody heard or read anything about how the new proposed legislation to make prostitution illegal might affect the British porn industry? It's a frightening thought but if the new law goes through it will make paying for sex an offense; isn't there a danger that this will also apply to porn producers when they hire performers?
There's a group of sex workers lobbying to prevent such legislation being passed. Although the stated aim of the initiative is perfectly reasonable i.e. to stamp out people trafficking and sex slavery, in practice it may actually put prostitutes in danger by forcing them out of flats and onto the streets. Then there is the infringements on personal freedom etc. Is there anyone from this branch of the sex industry also campaigning?
