There are clear errors of law, starting with trying Max in Florida in the first place. Max neither sold nor shipped anything to Florida and so didn't have any tangible nexus to Florida. The Trial Court found that having a link on Max's web site to the retailer who *did* sell & ship the video was sufficient. That right there is a major issue (and a huge issue to every manufacturer in the US).
The court saw through that ruse as a ridiculous attempt to exploit a legal loophole that really doesn't exist.
Once again; who was giving Max this legal advice? His decision to make "European Only" editions was absolutely stupid; he basically admitted right there it would be declared obscene by saying that American standards are so much less hardcore than "European" ones...
Max should have made one single cut, distributed it himself and stuck to a solid argument; Jeffrey Douglas has been obsessed with all these weird interpretations of "secondary producers" for years and convincing his clients to go along...and this time it blew up in Max's face.
