@Gerusz You can see it that way. In my country, that was actually the main argument against institutionalizing prostitution in some way. So now it exists in a grey area; I don't think any prostitute actually pays taxes, but they should, and brothels and pimping are of course illegal. Well, there are brothels. But they operate as strip clubs, they pay girls for the dancing and provide rooms for "private dances", and pretend they don't know about any prostitution.
