Quote: When the government proceeds in civil court, they give the adult industry a chance to respond in court, before a judge/ jury. If no one is being threatened with losing their freedom, its just a business decision.
I believe Max is also facing a Judge and Jury, albeit one that is sure to convict him given the venue.
But Moxie, this is more than "a business decision. This is part of an all-out Assault on the Bill of Rights, and anyone who believes otherwise has their head in the sand as much as Pastor Niemöller. The people who cherish Freedom have to make a stand for Freedom. As Edmund Burke said "The only thing necessary for the triumph of wicked men is for good men to do nothing."
I loathe Max's product. I think it's only good for torturing Islamic prisoners in the War on Terror. But he has the absolute right to make it, his fans have the absolute right to watch and possess it and the Government has no business trying to regulate it beyond ensuring that all performers are over 18.
If people don't stand up for their rights now, by the time they notice what's been happening, it will be too late. These are the stakes.
