"The power imbalance between the buyer and the person induced to commit the act persists regardless of whether the act takes place in a physical space or in front of a camera."
Just imagine if they regulated labor in other industries this way. Employer-employee power imbalance is immense.

Furthermore, in Nordic countries, minimum wage and such are not government-mandated, but maintained by collective bargaining agreements negotiated by powerful unions. In Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and also Italy, there is no legally defined minimum wage.
