This really has no point other then to bankrupt Max in a court fight


Yes, or at very least cost him dearly. They'll trot out "experts" on all kinds of things that sound good to ill informed jurors and villify him. Dragging it out is only part of the strategy though, his billable legal hours will cost him a sweet chunk of cash but it will also keep him from having as much time/energy from making more movies. The idea is that you cut the defendant from both ends, impacting his livelihood while heavily draining his financial resources. Max has gone on record in the past as saying his sales go through the roof when he gets into legal tangles so perhaps he'll show them again why such prosecutions only serve to make his movies more popular.

Nice job of wasting Tax payers dollars to appease the bible thumpers!



It's certainly convenient to blame the bible thumpers and GOP for all the legal ills plaguing porn and the adult entertainment industry but the truth is that the democrats and feminists are just as dangerous on the home front. The republican party has been in control of the White House for years now yet there have been few prosecutions. In the interrim, various laws attacking the industry (Houston's SOB ordinance comes to mind) have surfaced, equally or even more supported by the so-called "friends" of porn (the democrats). The mayor of Houston and his predecessor served on Clinton's Cabinet, both pushing the SOB laws in the city pretty heavy yet since this doesn't fit the scheme of AVN and other industry news sources, you may not have heard about it (the panel of judges issuing a stay included 2 GOP appointees and 1 democratic appointee=do the math).

Max makes offensive entertainment material using consenting adults that are paid a premium for their participation. If someone was illegally assaulted on one of his sets in the past (as in "unstaged" by the way), by all means feel free to charge him with the crime. Without some reasonable standard of what constitutes "obscene", charging him with that seems a direct contradiction to the intentions of our founding fathers. Granted, they would have probably found a tree and a good sturdy rope for Max but...
