Visa Wakes Up Sleep Sites?

[DannyCox]

I also don't like the idea of Visa et al doing any sort of censoring. It really isn't there place to take a moral stance on what consumers may want. If it is legal, it should be fine with them! Sleep Sites are all fantasy things, as we all know, and the premise is just silly. I don't even mind simulated rape scenes, hell, there's enough of those on regular TV already!

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.

I'd say rape AND torture is a far cry from sleep sites, and this sort of thing seems to be handled on a case to case basis.
