I had read the 10 count indictment, and i recall that 2 counts were on shipping a DVD, and 8 counts for viewing of material via internet.

Companies that ship DVD should be concerned about this obscenity case.

Companies that have video on their tours and members areas should be concerned about this obscenity case.

And the concern should be much more than just reading about it, that if Max doesn't have the best legal backing, he could end up being a sticky precedent.

The whole argument of judging a body of work for "artistic merit" based on community standards is ridiculous. Plain wrapped DVD's purchased by an adult, or content viewed behind a members area by an adult, is not in the public, and no one is being harmed, because the recipient of the content CHOSE to receive the content.

The AG's office that ordered those DVDS and watched those clips, CHOSE to do so,, it didn't just show up at their doorstep.

Fight the witch hunt!
