If the Film/Movie industry has different rules/laws to follow, then he/we should be able beat a trailer or site, being taken as a whole. However, a trailer that was cut from a full production, is enough to sample, understand, view, and experience without having to watch the entire thing. The idea of that is to show that it's tasteful, artful, contributes, whatever that crap is it says. Now, one trailer being a sample of an entire Website, I see the idea they are going after. Maybe if the site actually did have an artful taste to it, learning, or community, some special videos, I'm sure the court would allow those. Pending they wouldn't make the court puke.

I look at it like this, I can think or not think obscenity is right or wrong. If it is unconstitutional then this case should go high enough to prove or disprove that. I can see a clear, hardcore sex, safe line that will not get you into trouble, Flynt set that for us. We have a huge gray area, most of it being safe. But you can also clearly see a red zone that will get your ass nailed, beast, fake sexual rape, scat, the easy to spot extreme shit.

I don't think Max stuff should be found obscene, at least the small amounts I have watched. I'm not a hardcore porn fan, but adults consented to view his films and I'm fine with that as long as everyone in the production was aware of what was going to happen before hand.

I see some new laws coming in, if this case sticks, years from now prob. I see the degrading women law (bondage-bonded, extreme pain, ect.. in sexual moments) something like Canada has. This is what the Max case is screaming to me.
as a content producer often you sell a complete shoot to a client as exclusive, what they do with the content you cannot control. quite possible your client could ship it somewhere illegally and you as producer could get in trouble, it sounds likely...

secondly, all those who think they are safe just because they are overseas or in canada or the islands etc.. think again. WHERE are the majority of your clients? just look what happened to online gambling, and to those who tried to make online gambling available to americans... you might not be first in line, but you are definitively not safe.

i hope the industry comes out 100% in support for Max, with lawyers and legal support to ensure that this is overturned in an appeals court. i have a feeling people like L Flynt is already on this but if it not the case then there is a serious problem on the horizon for all of us.
