Whoooaaa. Wasn't that whole "shooting porn is prostitution" thing shot down in court back in the early 1990's? Neither Lisa Lipps or any other person is being brought in to do prostitution by anybody. Nothing illegal was done in any way by anyone. So how does "transporting" her across state lines break that law? If porn were legally recognized as prostitution (as they once tried to do and failed) then every company in the country would be getting raided and arrested. Instead we all operate quite legally (and pay more taxes than God) So I'm still a little in the dark here about what law may or may not be broken by saying that someone paid for a plane ticket for someone else. Just sounds a little weird to me.
