(OSHAWA, Ontario) -- A Canadian court this week began considering whether live images of erotic acts relayed over the Internet in exchange for money constitutes prostitution.

Grandstar Communications offers members who pay $15 a month a real-time service for $5 a minute by which customers converse by computer with a woman who will perform requested erotic acts the customer can watch on the computer screen.

The company is accused of operating a house of prostitution.

Prosecutor Bryan Davies said Monday on the first day of the trial that the site is different from other forms of legally monitored adult entertainment - such as strip clubs, which have minimum age requirements - because it is on the Internet and is accessible to anyone.

Among the evidence presented Monday was a videotape of police Det. Rob Nichol linking up to the Web site named The SinBin to contact a young woman who then stripped and rubbed her body with oil.
