Max Hardcore Trial Outtake - "You Look Better with Puke on Your Face"

[softball]

Let's say Max wins. The jury doesn't find the material obscene. Suddenly it's a free for all and every other new website and video release will feature extreme gagging, puking, and verbal degradation.

I beg to disagree. That was what happened in Canada with the sweets (you should know this) and that free for all never happened. Case in point.
In fact the Sweets are not producing any more as far as I know. The only extreme going on around here (vancouver) is COHF.

The Sweets won, but it wasn't all that you think it was (I spent a fair bit of time speaking with all involved including their lawyer, who is a pretty sharp guy). In the end, it really wasn't a judgement on the content itself, as the original complaint was a confused websurfer who though they were really holding a slave girl in prison and abusing her (as opposed to being characters on a website movie). I was with the Sweets in Amsterdam when they were in the process of moving everything out of Canada during that time, at one of Little C's enjoyable events.

There wasn't that much extreme stuff being shot in Canada before, there are still significant rules and regulations in place that make it very hard to distribute and sell in Canada, and honestly, with the shift in the exchange rate, we aren't a cheap place to shoot porn anymore. That seems to have fallen back to the US at this point.

Its a pretty inexpensive place to shoot porn. The value of talent dropped along with the value of bandwidth and profits. I know the people that opened up that Amsterdam thingy and it seems it never flew. They were still producing serious shit around here up until a couple of years ago. As for the case, whatever the argument Mr. Snowell made, it still opened the door for extreme production that I don't see happening. As for distributing and selling in Canada? I could care less. Our market is the world. It is the ability to produce product without worrying about bubba knocking on the door that makes this a comfortable place to work.
