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

You and I agree entirely, your personal freedoms cannot be restricted. Neither the government nor anyone here is suggesting for a second that your personal freedoms should be limited. In fact, Max Hardcore if he produced this material for fun and gave it for free to a friend in Tampa would not be on trial today.

However, Max is operating a commercial business. He has ended up in court because of a business transaction.

In the same manner: If the state of California passed a law that said "all porn performers must wear condoms during actual penetration", then the companies producing porn would have the three choices I mentioned before.

You and I won't see eye to eye on this (or pretty much anything else) because you don't have a line that runs down the middle and seperates your personal life from your "professional" life. You also fail to catch the basic concept of personal freedoms versus business regulation, which is very important for understanding why Max is in court and not some of the people posting personal videos on newsgroups that cover the same material.

Let me ask you this then. Around here the Sikhs are protesting the fact they will be forced to wear hard hats on construction sites and sawmills. They, of course wear turbans. The Sikhs are calling it a human rights code violation. They are also whinging about wearing motorcycle helmets.
How do you stand on this safety issue?

Here's where I stand. Fuck the Sikhs and anyone else that won't follow the rules of the country they live in. If they can't figure out how to get their fucking turbans stuffed into a hardhat, they either take off the turban or find a different job or move back to their own country.

And I agree with Alex. Max Hardcore wouldn't be in the trouble he's in if he hadn't violated a law that he should have known about. Anyone that distributes extreme content or sex paraphernalia knows that there are certain areas of the country that you don't distribute to because of their community standards. Again, if you don't like the fact that there are laws and rules to follow and don't want to take the time to learn what they are or you feel your personal beliefs are being violated, get out of this business and get a safe job.

I think there is a business opportunity here. A hard hat or helmet that looks and functions like a turban. This time next year, we could be millionaires.

Do the hard hats have to pass any kind of testing? Otherwise I see another opportunity here as well.

yall might want to look at this court coverage on Max at AVN.

Looks like they are wanting to bust him for a distributor mailing a postal inspector DVDs that max had only produced. He didnt mail em.

I read that last night, and it really does look like the state is reaching some fierce on this. If anything, the video company may be more likely to be on the hook. I also think that if the underlying charge (sending via mail obscene material) is knocked down, the rest of the house of cards falls because it would be outside of the jurisdiction of the court in Florida to look at.

The biggest risk? There is potential that the Max Hardcore servers were located in Tampa Bay area... which may still give them some jurisdiction in the case (but would almost certainly be something that would get appealed over and over to the top)

does this mean its time to move servers off shore for a extra level of protection?

You guys got it wrong.....
the turban boys don't DIG in the sand...they hire Indians to do the work.
Turban boys just own the sand, and come over here and own 7-11s, and drive cabs. All part of the master plan to control the US by withholding the slurpies, and paralyzing the city's transportation when the time comes for a jihad.


Oh, I feel bad...what terrible stereotypes....

You should. The guys I am discussing are Sikhs. Stop being such a stereotypical ignorant American.
