 One particularly graphic example of the first sort of harm is documented in the book Ordeal (Lovelace and McGrady 1980) about Linda Marchiano, who starred as “Linda Lovelace” in the famous pornographic film Deep Throat. In Ordeal, Marchiano tells of how she was abducted, hypnotized, drugged, beaten and tortured in order to perform her starring role. Marchiano was one of a number of women who testified about their experience of the harm caused by pornography at the Minneapolis City Council hearings into pornography in 1983. (The transcript of the hearings is published as Pornography and Sexual Violence: Evidence of the Links (see Minneapolis City Council, 1988). Marchiano’s case is a particularly horrifying and extreme example of how women may be harmed in the making of pornography; and much of what was done to Marchiano (the abduction, the beatings and the torture) are criminal offences in their own right.  Many, both liberals and feminists, think that since these physical assaults should not be allowed, enduring pornographic representations of these crimes that cause further harm to the victim’s interests should not be permitted to be distributed or consumed either (MacKinnon 1987; Wendell 1983).
