I will have to investigate this further after procuring some evidence...

Ah. ...The joys of an advanced education.

Im sure that this production company has legally protected their asses well. They could however get a big shock if they aren't real carefull. Many SAG's and DA's are not affraid to dig into old long forgotten laws to stop problems such as this. For instance, many communities have old laws worded various ways against soliciting sex for any commercial purpose. There are also zoning laws and health laws that can be utilized. My guess is that these producers have just decided that the profits will out-pace any of the likely legal costs.

"They are adults and they've made adult decisions. It's not the university's responsibility to monitor what goes on in the private lives of students."

Are these "adults" paying thier own way through college, or are these "adults" still nursing at the green teat of mom and dads wallet. I'd wager they are there on mom and dads nickel - geee, they must be so proud

Pedophile Film Company Says Elementary School Crackdowns Won't Stop Movies

"We feel bad for any students who are going to receive disciplinary action for the things they did behind closed doors in the privacy of their own rooms," she said. "They are adults and they've made adult decisions. It's not the university's responsibility to monitor what goes on in the private lives of students."

While I'd like to agree here, these students represent the University, not themselves. That is, when these companies go to a campus and make a video and mention the schools name. Same for Playboy. The universities have every right to not let these companies on campus and to punish students who violate policies of the university.

These people have every right to make movies, but the universities have every right to not be an unwilling part of the film.

Theresa Hennessey, spokeswoman for Playboy Enterprises, echoed that sentiment. She said her company's famed magazine has faced the same type of criticism for its annual college issue. Many of those concerns were aired in the spring when Playboy was holding photo shoots. The annual issue came out in October and is among Playboy's biggest sellers, Hennessey said.

Some guys down the hall from me always have a stack of girlie mags floating around their office. Naturally, I pick them up and flip through them when I'm down there.

The college babe issue this year was creepy. So many of the girls had obvious boob jobs/breast augmentations/implants that they didn't look alluring, just doll-like.

Of course there are image games played with the lighting, air brushing and digital manipulation, but I found myself oddly repelled.

And I also found it sad that such beautiful girls felt the need to undergo surgery when their natural gifts were quite splendid to start with.

"These were deplorable actions by a company intent on exploiting the university and our students," Brehm said. "These are sexual predators whose behavior violates all basic principles of common decency."

Of course, a professor can offer a course on the artistic aspects of pornography, or the womyn's studies group can offer a graphic class on the joys of lesbianism, or there can be a school-sponsored screening of the Vagina Monologues, which celebrates a statutory lesbian encounter with an underage girl, but THAT'S different...
