Turkish police have raided a villa outside Istanbul where several women believed they were participating in a Big Brother-type reality show. Scantily-clad images of them were sold to cell-phone subscribers. There seems to be some question of whether the women were held against their will or not. And if the promoters were actually selling the "big-brother-type" experience, was their claim of running a reality show actually true? While this might make an intriguing argument in a US court, I suspect the Turks will take harsher view.

I'm just wondering what would have been the result if they knew exactly what was going on, and got a part of the take....
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
