Under legalization Pimps get legalized. They still exploit the prostitutes. It is the Pimps who support legalization because like all businesses threated by new modes of production they seek to limit the competition.

The internet has empowered women to run their own “escort” services without a middleman to skim off part of their earnings. Markets operate on information and before the internet prostitutes either worked in the streets or relied on someone to provide the client. Now she just posts her web or facebook page and lets client search her out. Pimps, also known as Madames don’t like this and will use legalization and the taxes that will come from it to drive out the independents.
