...still not known, though eBay wasn't sitting around waiting to find out. Such offers are against their rules - not to mention a federal law, designed to prevent the exploitation of poor people, which makes selling your organs a felony punishable by up to five years in prison or a $50,000 fine. EBay says it has no system for filtering what people put up, and acts only after members alert them to a problem (the company banned firearms this spring after a public outcry).

The bill, which has 32 cosponsors, ranging from conservative Republicans to liberal Democrats, would prohibit any profit-making from the films and subject violators to prison terms of up to five years. "This is something so horrible and despicable that it has to end," Gallegly said of films such as "Vicious in Las Vegas" and "Mistress Di: Princess of Death."
