WSIM FAQ

1. What's your address?

   Oslo Netfetter
   P.O. BOX 380
   NEW HUDSON, MI 48165-1380
   USA

    

2. Why do you use a P.O. Box?

   Because I don't want the whole world to know where I live. Would you?

    

3. Is "Oslo" your real name? Are you Norwegian?

   No and No. There are a handful of people in the world whom I do not want knowing that I do this page (for obvious reasons). "Oslo" is a name that I thought I made up while writing a screenplay several years ago. Little did my geographical-impaired brain know that it was also the capital of Norway. I'm all for being open about what you're into. Most of my friends know about this page. But as we all know, there are some people that just aren't open-minded enough to handle it � so it's best that they just not know about it.

4. Why is your page so simple looking? Why don't you jazz it up a bit?

   I don't know about you, but I'm still connecting to the internet on an old-fashioned phone line. I suspect that many of you out there are as well. There's nothing more frustrating then going to a site and waiting five minutes for it to load just because the designer loaded the page with a bunch of unnecessary pretty-looking crap. I don't want to waste your time, so I want my site to load as quickly as possible.

    

5. Which of the WSIM volumes is your favorite?

   Ahh, finally, a question I enjoy answering. I've got a real fondness in my heart for the first one, since it contains many of the scenes that were with me long before I started this page. After that, I'd have to say Volume Three is a close second. After that it's 7,2,11,8,10,9,4,5, and 6. These numbers refer to the VHS editions only.

6. What are your favorite whipping scenes?

   Tough question. I can't really put them in any order, but I can tell you a few of my favorites: Flash Gordon, One Russian Summer, Ms. Stilletto, Detention Girls, The Barbarians, Waxwork, Sin Pecado Concebeido, Story of a Cloistered Nun, The Viking Queen, House of 1,000 Dolls, Marion de Faoet, Escape From Hell, The Mongols, and so on and so forth. Some of these titles are not on any of the WSIM tapes due to copyrights, so you'll have to hunt them out at your local video store.

7. Where are the "La Marionetta" scenes from? Is there more?

   I've gotten so many e-mails about this that I figured I'd give it a short response here. These scenes were sent to me by a fan of the page many years ago. They were produced some time in the 80s at his private SM resort (lucky guy). He generously gave me permission to use them any way I see fit.
   Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, what I have is all there is.

    

8. Speaking of copyright are these compilations illegal?

   Geez I hope not. But seriously, all of the scenes on the WSIM compilations were received through foreign sources, or were acquired through the many legal video duplication companies out there. The section of American copyright law known as "The Berne Act" clearly states: films unreleased in the United States, including original version of films altered and/or edited for release in the United States, are not protected by American copyright; thus, they are considered public domain. To the best of my knowledge, all of the scenes I've included on the videos fall under this category. You won't find scenes from big-budget hollywood films on my tapes - if you want those go out and rent or buy them at your local video store. If any copyright holder objects to any scene on any of the WSIM compilations in regard to a copyright that I didn't know about, I'll remove the scene from the tape and/or CD immediately and will never offer it again in the future. While I feel that I'm providing a good, money saving way to see lots of whipping scenes from public domain or foreign films/videos, I certainly don't want to get in any trouble and want to be in compliance with the law. So, if there's a scene on any of my tapes/CDs that shouldn't be there, let me know and it's gone.

9. Why isn't there more male stuff on the page? Will there be more male videos?

   Frankly because I'm not into it all that much - and this is my page after all. Still, I do have a video compilation availble, as well as a few pics and stories in the members area. If you're only into male stuff, though, it's probably not worth it for you to get a membership (though if you order the video you'll get the membership for free). I do add a few new male pics every now and then, though.
   I'm not planning another male video. I don't really have time in my life to seek out the more obscure ones, and too many of the male scenes that I know about are under US copyright and readily available at most video stores. So, just take a look at the database and head out to your video store for your own private collection!
