The American porn industry and its lawyers have been warning producers for years about 'extreme' porn and the risks in producing and marketing it - there's a list every distributor has with zip codes in areas not to send pornography into.
A jury of his peers found what Max Hardcore produces to be obscene - end of story. Nothing to feel bad about or feel sorry for him for.
If the federal government applied the law wrong in his case he can appeal.

Mutt, the problem is that there isn't really an obscenity law. It's just some vague bullshit that some judges can apply to anyone at any time with no real guidelines that one can diligently follow with forewarning. Even the most vanilla porn could be considered obscene. And the idea that a porn movie could be legal in one area and obscene in another city or state is preposterous. Max didn't even ship the damn movie in question, another company did. I am not defending his content specifically, but the whole thing is a travesty of justice.
