He was exactly the kind of person that would question the morality of saying "sexuality is taboo". Come on, he willingly and enthusiastically let his ERECT PENIS be casted for posterity. If you look at the trailer then you can see someone else is present holding the camera. To me, those are all clues, albeit circumstancestial ones, that point to the distinct possibility that he would be totally groovy with this. Remember he was all about being counterculture. He was pro-drug. He was pro-sex. He was rock and roll through and through.

If you, my esteemed peers, think that it is profane to publish that footage then you are of course entitled to your opinions, but I say here and now, with my freak flag waving high, that I think it is pretty cool and way far out and I dig it!
All of those things seemed to be true about him, or at least what he wanted everyone to believe. However, to exploit him and have a porn company SELL that tape is as about as lame as it gets. If Jimmy wanted to sell it, he would have sold it.
