I know next to nothing about the Max Hardcore case, other than what I've read on various wm boards, but IMO it's a damned good thing he didn't go down for making his videos... good for the industry, and good for our First Ammendment rights, not just as porn slingers but as people in general.
You all call porn "degrading" and "exploitative", and I really don't agree. Kudos to any woman who has a great enough body and the balls to expose herself on camera! Porn models and actresses are paid VERY well for what they choose to do, and it IS a choice! To me, these arguments are as ridiculous as saying that football is degrading to men or that hockey is a practice in male exploitation. If these women opt to use the tools they were given to make a decent living, more power to them! THEY obviously don't have a problem with it or they'd be secretaries and soccer moms. Give them a little bit of credit for having the brains to make the choice!
You show me one straight man who doesn't fantasize about women multiple times a day. Show me one straight man that doesn't sprout a stiffy watching a porn film or even seeing a hot babe in the supermarket! Sure, porn is about women and some of the onscreen "fantasies" might be a bit off the beaten path. The only disturbing aspect of it for me is that members of the psycho contingent will see a simulated rape movie and thing, "Gee, if they did it in this movie it must be okay!" But you're going to have a helluva hard time convincing me that if porn movies were wiped off the planet tomorrow, rapes and physical abuse of women would stop, 'cause I don't buy it.
Lighten up, fellas, and don't assume that women are being "used and abused" by starring in porn films or in front of a camera. There ARE options, and it's not easy to break into Adult Hollywood... they have to work hard and earn their places as "stars", and I'd be willing to bet there isn't one of them that feels the need to apologize for the career path she has choosen to walk.
Just my  Agree with me or don't, but at least acknowledge my right to have a slightly different opinion
