Actually Danny, I would say that the material in most of these sites, if sent by mail interstate in the US, would be enough to get the sender charged with obscenity.

You would probably remember this guy, his site was called FORBIDDENVIDEOS.COM, and he sold the tapes via the mail. His little disclaimer was that he had model releases for all of them, and that they were not "rape", just a fantasy.

It's clear that the DoJ and the courts didn't buy it.
