Ravenwood on prostitution:
The idea that you cannot charge someone money for something it is perfectly legal to give away, is perplexing. What's more, if you film it and distribute it, it's called art and you can pay both parties.As long as all the parties are consenting adults, I don't see the harm in either activity. But a Manhattan judge says there's a world of difference.
Prostitution, as traditionally defined, requires person A paying person B for sexual activity to be performed on A, Supreme Court Justice Budd G. Goodman wrote in People v. Paulino, 6687/04.Glad he cleared that up.Pornography, on the other hand, involves person C paying B for sexual activity performed on A.

There's the planet with 26 sexes (mu's are so stand-offish) where it's not so simple, especially when the porn possibilities are added.
So according to him, if my buddy gives the chick the money, I'm cool right?

As long as he's filming, yes...
