Sweden's tax authorities are cracking down on unreported webcam stripper income.
They estimate that hundreds of Swedish women are dodging the law,
resulting in a tax loss of about 40m Swedish kronor (£3.3m) annually.
The
search involves tax officials examining stripper websites, hours upon
hours, for completely legitimate purposes. A slightly disheveled
project leader said 200 Swedish strippers had been investigated so far,
adding the total could be as much as 500. "They are young girls, we can
see from the photos. We think that perhaps they are not well informed
about the rules," he said.

Scandinavian countries are generally ranked among the least corrupt (or most transparent). This throws quite a new light on things.
There was an incident a while back about Nintendo games being mentioned in porn. Which led to a hilarious Penny Arcade comic about the theoretical Nintendo employee who’s only job is to watch all the pornography to look for intellectual property.
