The site where this link is from is a buisiness site catering to the adult industry and to the best of my knowledge contains no pornographic images.

In 2001, Hardcore was prosecuted by the city of Los Angeles for obscenity, which was not resolved until 2004 with a company plea to a public nuisance.

When one is charged with obscenity in Los Angeles, you can bet the stuff is out there. I'm not going to plead ignorance to Hardcore's work. I have seen it. If you have never seen a Max Hardcore film, you have abolutely never seen anything like it. Watching this film was a stomach-churning experience. There was nothing arousing about it at all.

I'd be willing to bet that 99% of the population who enjoy pornography would find a film by Max Hardcore to be totally repulsive.

He's not well-liked within the industry for two major reasons. First, he scares away the new talent. Young women who find themselves in his films usually are new to the business and typically flee the industry after being subjected to the painful, wholly humiliating and degrading experience of working with this man. Second, he is indefensible. He epitomizes everything that those against pornography rally against. He makes Larry Flynt look like Walt Disney and your typical Vivid Video production look like wholesome family entertainment. That is no hyperbole.

Gee, I hope my e mail address won't be cross referenced for my Federal Background Investigation.

[Huck]

OK, so it's repulsive. So the federal gubmint should shut them down?

[funkywbr]

Sounds like the Feds are getting Hard Core with THEM!

[stuartcr]

It's a good thing you re-viewed these movies for us, thanks.

[Constitution Day]

Nope. Never heard of him.

[sgtbono2002]

Max must be selling enough films to keep body and soul together so somebody is watching it.

[Thrusher]

The offices of Max Hardcore’s Max World Entertainment were raided Wednesday under the authority of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section of the Justice Department

I am sure a man as scrupulous and conscientious as Mr. Hardcore is very meticulous about verifying the ages of the "performers" in his "productions".

[SE Mom]

It's official. I'm over the hill and out of touch with the culture. I've never heard of this person.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

OK, I will take your word for it.

Thanks for the research.

[Pondman88]

Max can thank the FBI for the increase in sales this month....

[kisanri]

Bravo! Hope they nail that slimebag

[Edmund Dante]

I wonder if the FBI agents can sue the agency
if they go blind in the line of duty.

I'll have to admit, His work IS fairly disturbing.

[AntiGuv]

Here's a Wikipedia summary of his work: Max Hardcore. Yes, it sounds repulsive, but the last time I checked the First Amendment still begins "Congress shall make no law.." What part of "no law" is difficult to understand? If the state wants to deal with it, then fine, but the Feds have no constitutional authority. It seems that the State of California already dealt with it as they saw fit.

[DTogo]

Has the ACLU stepped up to provide Max's legal defense for free yet?

[relictele]

I would have posted the same thoughts, almost verbatim.

Well stated.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Shame on the Department of Justice. I am proud of my movies and of those who sell them.

He would be hung tomorrow in my world.

[madprof98]

. . . he is indefensible. He epitomizes everything that those against pornography rally against.

As porno posts always do, this one brought out the libertarians. And, as always, they brought with them the usual cliches about the First Amendment and the nanny state and so on. The zinger is supposed to be, "Is this the sort of country you want to live in?"

Truth is, the kind of country that treats Max Hardcore material as worthy of protection is NOT the kind of country I want to live in. I hope they shut him down - and shut down anybody else inclined to follow his lead.

Ah, for the good old days of the "Fabulous Dark Brothers" and Gerard Damiano.
