I rarely post or even read GFY anymore after retiring from porn a couple years back. I retired from porn for a couple reasons, a major one being what happened to Max. My own site was a little over the edge so I felt exposed.
Like a lot of people I am sure here I met Max, chatted with him for a while at a porn convention, nice and pleasant guy but his stuff grossed me out. I am absolutely amazed anyone would want to buy it or make it. But I am more amazed they could find 12 people who would convict him for it, sad commentary.
One thing I shared with Max, DVDs were a huge part of my site, bigger than membership some months. Early on I took the warnings of porn first amendment attorneys seriously and NEVER shipped mail domestically. Its idiotic to save a buck when thats historically been a big part of porn persecutions. Sure he could have still been charged with the other stuff but why make it easy for the government?
Not sure if it was smart or not but I did ship postal mail overseas. There wasn't any reasonable alternative and I think it would be vastly harder (if even possible) to prosecute. But that was just my opinion.
I do hope you guys are voting republican will take note. An Obama dominated supreme court could save Max a few years hence.
