The Max Hardcore Legal Defense Fund

Max Hardcore writes: Hey Ray, great to see you at the Halloween parties. It was good to take a break from getting my ass beat up by the bullies at the Justice Department, for a few brief hours. But now it’s back to the ring to take another pounding. At this rate I figure they’ll get tired eventually, and that’s when I’m gonna POUNCE on them with the piledriver, and drive them right through the floor!
In case anyone hasn’t heard, I’m about ready to start serving a nearly 4 year sentence for Obscenity, after being convicted on ten counts all the way over in Tampa, Florida. The rails were heavily greased for my trial, and will be for those to follow. However, we are hopeful we can eventually overturn the conviction. I just hope it don’t take 4 years to do it. In case anyone is still wondering, yes, this could have happened to any company in our business, and there will be more to follow If I don’t slow them down by beating them on my case.
Besides all my dough, the feds also absconded with my website, MaxHardcore.com. So I’d like to let everyone know that I have a new one, that’s bigger and better than the last one, so I’d like to encourage folks to mosey on over there and checkd it out, at www.MaxHardcoreTV.com

From MaxHardcoreTV.com –
As you have probably heard by now, the groundbreaking and legendary adult film maker Max Hardcore, was recently found guilty for the production of “Obscenity,” and sentenced to 46 months in federal prison, and fined Eighty-Five Thousand Dollars! Other artists who have been convicted of Obscenity in the past include comedian Lenny Bruce and author James Joyce.
Max Hardcore’s films were found to be illegal because they “violated community standards.” With the assistance of the judge, the prosecutor inflamed the jury as they painting Max Hardcore as a violent predator - even though there was no real violence at all! Thoroughly prejudiced, the jury ignored the fact that Max’s scripted and staged productions involved only willing and well paid participants of legal age. The jury even ignored the glowing praise by one of his so-called victims who starred in three of the five movies on trial.
Take a quick look at history and you will find that most truly great art violates community standards. Max Hardcore was sentenced to prison because he is a creative, brilliant, groundbreaking pornographer. Instead of being tried in Los Angeles, where he lives and works, he was tried in a conservative part of Florida, because some of his internet servers happened to be located there. This sets a very dangerous precedent to all those who have blogs or websites no matter where you live!
Humanity progresses through offensive ideas. Socrates was sentenced to death for corrupting the youth of Athens. Copernicus and Galileo were arrested for proving that Earth was not the center of the universe. Jesus was crucified for teaching a religion of peace and acceptance.
The freedom of speech is the right to pursue and develop ideas, and to share those ideas with the world. It is the right to pursue greatness and truth. It is the right to do art, to do science. It is to express yourself with the help of others, so long as everyone is participating of their own free will.
By jailing a truly groundbreaking artist, the government has not just taken away one man’s freedom. They have taken away the right to pursue new ideas, to challenge and improve the accepted ways of doing things, to seek artistic greatness. And they have taken this right not only from Max Hardcore, but from every one of us.
Sincerely, Stanton Audemars, Rattled Films
You Can Do Something About this!
Max Hardcore was never a rich man, but has financed this case up to this point, and spent nearly all his money. To carry it onward to the appeals process, Max now needs the help of all people who know the importance of Freedom of Speech, and the Sanctity of one’s own home.
Now is the time to show you mean business, and contribute whatever you can, be it $20, $100, $1,000, or more, every dollar counts! Max has set up a fund so he can mount a robust appeal, and get this case thrown out, for so many good reasons, that it shows the conservative elements of the Justice Department that people aren’t going to stand for being treated like unpatriotic citizens anymore!
