Max Hardcore
 

Dear Friends, and Supporters of Free Speech,
Paul Little, who the world knows as Max Hardcore, will be surrendering his freedom Thursday, January 29th, 2009, at the Federal Metropolitan Detention Center at 535 N. Alameda Street in downtown Los Angeles. When Paul is taken into custody, all of us lose a little more of our freedom. Paul is on the front line of the fight for Free Speech, and is paying a heavy price in the battle with the powers who wish to silence us all.
We have received strong support from many in the industry and beyond, who understand that Paul's fight is not just for himself, but for the all Americans. He is out on the front line and caught the flak, and by doing so, he is protecting us all. But words of encouragement are not enough.
In these difficult economic times, many of us are doing what we can simply to pay the bills and continue doing business. It's been twice as tough for us here as the government has seized our long time domain name, and forced us to establish a new home at MaxHardcoreTV.com.
Take a stand and show your support for Freedom of Speech by proudly placing the Fuck Censorship banner on your website. This sends users to the story of Paul's conviction and gives them the option to directly support our legal fight by joining Max's new home at maxhardcoretv.com.

Paul was not the first to get railroaded by the injustice of the federal government, nor will he be the last. It's time for all of us to let them know you've had enough of this, and will stand together in the fight for freedom. If we don't, my friends, someday they could be back for you.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Richard

sad story.. but when you play with fire.....

i have not got much to say

but he did push the boundaries a little

IMHO this has nothing to do with free speech

What did he expect to get for knowingly breaking several obscenity laws? And, yea...nothing at all to do with free speech.

Do not agree with how it went down. Do not agree with the charges.
Do know that you really should not play with the Government that way though, few ever win and even when they do they still loose.

I was suprised when I saw Max walking around the past couple of shows I thought he was supposed to be in jail already?

How long was he sentenced for?

he got rocked!! Where is the free speech coalition?? No where to be found.

Why not just put Fuck Censorship instead of censoring it with F*ck Censorship? :upsidedow

I agree totally.:helpme

good luck to max. everyone takes their own risks. i don't approve of his content, but i think he has a right to do it if its consensual and does not cause pain. if they wanted us all silenced, it would be done already. all the PPV on cable broadcast would be shuttered, all the adult video stores would be raided and locked up. they don't want all of us, just the ones who they can pick off easily using their bland, uninterpretable wishy washy laws. obscenity can never be defined under the guidelines that are set as of now. there is no written black and white. its all left to interpretation. therefore, efforts should be enacted to define obscenity and influence the laws to be clarified. otherwise everyone is a target of selective interpretation at any given time.

The problem with living life on the edge, is sometimes you fall.

Ooooh and that gravity, it's a killer.

LOL why no one mentions the fact that he put a screwdriver through a girl's pussy into her ass is beyond me. Just because he follows the 2257 shit doesn't mean he needs to be supported. The dude sold porn extremely targeted to pedo's, plain and simple. Watch one of his rougher scenes and dare to get a hard-on :(

It really is bullshit to jail a person for making a porno.

all the content I saw was pretty much legit

but the things he was saying and thus trying to convey

sick!:disgust

he's no larry flynt.

disagree. the ambiguity protects our speech because that makes it so difficult for the government to score convictions. If they spelled out exactly what was illegal, things would be much less free around here.

Did he get prosecuted for assault?
Do not think this was about 2257 either.
Damn sure he did not target pedo's either as well we all know what pedos are interested in and adults can not "pretend" to be it. He did cater to well to put it lightly degrading women.

It was good seeing you Richard. The party was nice. Max can JAM on the guitar! Hopefully the appeal goes well for him. IMHO, this is utter B.S.

P.S. I'm glad tentacle wasn't there.

And I will disagree with you.
Clear cut rules can easily be fought and have shit stopped before you loose every penny you own fighting it. Vague ones just allow them to fuck with you for as long as they wish.

i'll take definition over biased based interpretations any day. theres nothing worse than functioning under the guise of "ehhh i could be doing something illegal, all depends on who is considering it." no thanks. i'd rather they define it. anyone and everyone who produces content is a target at any time the government wants. also, i don't know if many of you remember but max repeatedly kicked the beehive and pissed off the government on more than a few occasions as far as i remember. ask joe francis how the target feels on your back once you pretty much tell them to fuck off.

If you task our family values politicians to define exactly what they would ban, we would all go to jail IMO. the first amendment didnt stop the supreme court from creating & upholding the obscenity law. The vagueness of defining "patently offensive" & "prevailing community standards" makes it a tough road for Jonny Law to convict porn producers on obscenity. So mostly they get settlements from poor shop owners that cant defend themselves. We just had 8 years of an evangelical president & he couldn't do jack shit to stop the porn business. I like it vague...

I hear you but the politicians are not our friends. Congress votes overwelmingly for laws like COPA. The only thing that keeps us all out of jail has been the federal courts considering "non obscene" porn to be constitutionally protected speech.

There you go...

i don't see the fuck censorship banner there:upsidedow

So how many F*ck Censorship banners are flying on the boards right now

0?

or 1?

Here is the big problem with Max's conviction.

You can argue that Max pushed the enveloped, fucked with the bull and got the horns. I personally don't like his content, but in that area I find most hardcore stuff kind of nasty and prefer the more softcore stuff. Call me old fashioned, but jerking off to a hot naked girl is fine by me. If it is hardcore I want at least the illusion that she is having a good time.

But this isn't about what I want to jerk off to.

Some of the things Max got convicted for were videos of his that were on the internet. Those videos were also simply trailers for other full length videos. Now the law says to find something obscene you have to take in the work as a whole, not just small pieces of it. That didn't happen here. They saw a very short trailer and used that to make their decision and toss him in jail.

COPA is gone, but some of the rulings of COPA linger. One of those rulings by the US Supreme Court is that you can use local standards when judging something that is on the internet. What this means is that if the convictions Max received for the movie trailers on his website are not overturned during his appeal any small conservative town in the nation can go to any MPG gallery you may post, watch your 30 second video clip and drag your ass into court, get a conviction and lock you away.

That is wrong.
The US Supreme Court was wrong with their ruling. Local community standards should not apply to the internet.
The court that handed Max convictions based on his movie trailers was wrong as well.

If those convictions are left to stand it could open a can of worms that could make things very ugly for this industry.

Love or hate Max. Love or hate his content, this is something everyone in this business should be paying close attention to.

You may NOT like him , but I totally disagree with what he got busted for:2 cents:

good stuff kane

yeah I dont really know him but strangely I ran into him and Layla at NAMM, the musicians convention in Anaheim.. in the Hilton lobby after hours party.. he was running around with Layla (always some naughty little slut-of-the-month as usual!) and we talked for a few.. he actually seems like a nice guy.. regardless, as with many I'm no fan of pissing on girls, pretty degrading to the "max" so to speak. Jeez.. but thats his thing, and...

you're right Kane, local community standards should not apply to the internet.. thats a bullshit ruling gone wild and Max is the scapegoat until that ruling is shot down.

Go sit in the corner and cry like an old woman you micro dick fucking wimp.

Max is the man :thumbsup

Best of luck Max... whatever anyone's personal opinions it's a sad day for the industry...

Its not the fall that gets you ..... its the sudden stop at the bottom thats the real killer !!

"Max Hardcore was never a rich man" I beg to differ.

Postmark this thread for the year 2050 and maybe then it will not be a total joke.

For this time and age, the guy was way off base.

Does anyone have the actual video footage that got him in trouble? I'd like to actually see it for myself before I make any judgement like most people in this thread are probably doing.

The actual footage???? :1orglaugh

Damn dude, just pick one. :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
Free Speech Coalition? lmao, they were busy spending all their donations on fun shit. The F.S.C. is a fucking joke.:2 cents:

No matter how you look at it, wether you like of dislike Max's "work" This is what is happening, and this is super fucking bad news for anyone in this industry, on any level.


Once they start taking freedoms away through incarseration of individuals then it just makes it easier to remove any other freedom they want. First they take, then you give.


once it starts, good fucking luck stopping it.

Sad thing to know about Max.
