So what you will about Max's content (and many of you have commented to throw him under the bus), but he is defending himself against some serious charges, that when he wins (and that will be a lot in part due to Sirkin and Douglas keeping the court on track with what the law says and not what the prosecution wants it to say), it is a win for the entire adult biz.
Max said it best in the closing paragraph:
"I'm standing tall because I know I'm in the right," he said. "I'm facing down the government because they have no right to tell the American people what they can watch in their own homes that's made by consenting adults, with consenting adults and for consenting adults."
I've chatted with Max a couple of times, and he's a pretty straight-up, no-nonsense person and i respect the fact that he isn't out holding out his hand to ask other people to help bail him out like some have done before.
This is an important case as it deals with obscenity and the internet in crossing into state lines, for both DVD and digital video. Its not just his DVD's being shipped to Tampa, its also about internet access to his content from his website.
