age, but pimping and brothels are illegal according to Section 204 of the Criminal Code. It is disputed whether or not Big Sister was a brothel. Operation and equipment The entrance fee for male customers was 500 Czech korunas (about $23) and entrance was free for female customers and couples. All customers were required to present identification papers, and sign a contract purchasing a DVD of their actions in the club, and at the same time selling the online and DVD distribution rights for the material. The length of each visit to a room with a prostitute was limited to one hour. Visiting couples whose sex acts were recorded received compensation of about €30. Subscription to the website was €30 per month, which included access to live streams, the video archive and a chat room; live video chat with the working women incurred an extra charge. The women working in the brothel received a fixed salary and additional money per recorded sex act and per online show for the website subscribers, with average pay of about €3,000 per month. Fellatio and vaginal sex were almost always performed with condoms, and most women did not allow cunnilingus or kissing on the mouth. The majority of the women were Czechs or Slovaks, but some were from Brazil or Ghana. The club was fitted with about 58 cameras, including some in the living quarters of the prostitutes. Three employees directed the cameras and select the audio/video streams to be broadcast and archived.
