those 'flat rate' brothels mentioned in the article some VERY interesting
seriously though, the idea was good but obviously some regulatory agency in germany has fallen down on the job. with cooperation between the courts and the regulators, there is no reason why the brothel owners couldn't be the 'employers' of the prostitutes, with the prostitutes obtaining wages, performance bonuses, employment benefits and even pensions
but it seems clear to me that some serious pressure has been brought to bear on whoever allows the present conditions to exist, hence the current state of the industry
