Jim, the over riding factor was that they ordered the video from Max's site, now even though the order was actually fulfilled by another company they never left Max's site and the order did appear to have come from Max. Does he have grounds for appeal...yes probably but I never bouight the "they shipped the euro version by mistake" argument anyway because he openly advertised the sale of euro versions to US customers. So the argument isnt as strong as it appears on its face.

I do not believe anyone should be jailed for obscenity, specially since nobody can tell you what is obscene until after the fact. but that aint the reality.

If Max didn't know he was a target he is a lot fucking dumber than I think he is.
