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

[gonzo]

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?

Thats bullshit if you think that will protect you. As long as you live here you can be potentially prosecuted. Same thing for offshore banking.

Ask Joe Francis.

Ask Chris Wilson if hosting overseas helped him.

Well one of the things they are getting him on is a server in tampa. So its not a safe zone but could be one less charge.

The server company is in Tampa - is the physical server in Tampa as well? if so, then technically someone download from the server into Tampa wouldn't be importing anything, because it was already legally in the state.

Now that is an interesting concept...
