Without giving the cut-off date, that list doesn’t help much. “Traci, I Love You” (1987) and later are okay. Earlier titles are mostly illegal (though if I have read correctly, Foxy Boxing is legal, since she doesn’t appear nude, and the list you linked to lists things like HBO comedy series…). ---

Melt down the VHS tapes, make a cast of a voluptuous woman, and then fill in the mold with the molten VHS remains. ---

Give it to the nearest Catholic chirch. Maybe the altar boys will get a respite. ---

If we find a doper who wants VHS porn let me know. I’ve got 4 or 5 that I can mail to them as well. ---

Earlier titles are mostly illegal (though if I have read correctly, Foxy Boxing is legal, since she doesn’t appear nude, and the list you linked to lists things like HBO comedy series…). I didn’t bother to search for a list of illegal Traci videos, true. I sort of assumed the OP would know to filter the list. It’s a shame, because she was in some really excellent films like the Taboo series. ---

Eww, used porn. Are all the tapes stuck together? Do you have to knock one off the main mass with a ball-peen hammer in order to stick it into the VCR? Or can you flick it off like a sticky booger? ---

I hope someone will post links to the ebay stuff - I am morbidly fascinated that there is a market for things like this. For the record, I have a VCR - is there a standalone DVR that isn’t tied to a dish or cable service? ---

If you go to eBay and select the “Everything Else” category, one of the categories under that heading is “Adult Stuff”. In order to view anything in the “Adult Stuff” category, however, you have to be registered at eBay - I’m presuming this is to prevent underaged viewing of the items listed there. ---

It’s a shame, because she was in some really excellent films like the Taboo series. Are they so bad that they couldn’t fix them up? Or would that get them in trouble, too? You know, add censor bars and/or remove nude scenes. Or even do a perfectly faithful remake. As for what you do have, look for ones that aren’t available online. You can probably make something from them, and, if you can’t, you can at least enrichen the porn community.
