From his PR release:
LOS ANGELES — On the heels of 10-count obscenity indictment being returned against Paul F. Little, aka Max Hardcore, Little, along with his attorney Jeffrey J. Douglas of Santa Monica, Calif. have issued an official statement to the press. In addition to the mailing of allegedly obscene material, Little also is being charged with transmitting five allegedly obscene video clips over the Internet via the company’s website. Federal prosecutors said they are "seeking forfeiture of the `obscene’ films, all money made from sales of the films and all property used in the making of the films, including [Hardcore’s] home in Altadena, Calif."
Authorities also are seeking the forfeiture of the sites MaxHardcore.com, PissedOnPornStars.com and CatalinaXXX.com.
The DVD titles named in the indictment are "Max Hardcore Extreme 20 – Euro Edition," "Pure Max 19 – Euro Edition," "Max Hardcore Golden Guzzlers 7 – Euro Edition," "Fists of Fury 4 – Euro Edition" and "Planet Max 16 – Euro Edition."
The full text of Douglas’s and Little’s joint statement to the press is as follows:
Paul Little, who plays the fictitious character "Max Hardcore" in adult videos, is the most recent target of the Justice Department’s effort to suppress free speech. "These are five movies depicting consensual acts between adults, exclusively for consenting adults. There is nothing criminal about these movies," said Paul Little’s attorney, Jeffrey J. Douglas.
The newly unsealed Federal indictment arising from Tampa, Florida, is one of three pending Federal indictments against commercially available materials. Recently Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez described obscenity prosecution as among the Department of Justice’s highest priorities.
"This is an absurd misallocation of Federal resources," Douglas stated. "Everyone in America understands that if you don’t want to watch, you don’t have to. Why can’t the prosecutors understand that? There is real crime occurring, and a shortage of resources to fight them. Why waste our taxpayer money? How is America safer because another Hollywood filmmaker has been charged with the crime of making movies?"
Paul Little states: "They want to take away my home, my business, and my liberty for making fictional movies with consenting adults. All Americans, whether they watch adult material or not, can rely upon our vigorous defense in this case, fighting for the rights of all adults to view material they so choose."
Why didn’t he just set up the web servers in Sweden?
I guess he was looking to get fucked with by the feds, prolly thought it’d make him a bigger name.
LOL what an idiot, this could have been avoided.
To Sweden? I thought his movies are banned there. The Swedes are drifting in a Dworkin-McKinnon way regarding sex work including pornography for years. Maybe Max shoud have moved his operation to Germany or the Netherlands. They like his kind of stuff there.

Your a sick pervert. God only knows why they let you continue for so long. I’d like to think if you came to the UK a Jack Carter character would be waiting to greet you at the airport.
HOLLYWOOD FILMMAKER???? LOL!
I am always amused whenever I read of ANY gonzo shooter like Max “claim” to be a legitimate filmmaker. Are they high?? Look, real filmmakers study and dedicate their work to “real” films, not quick, sex shots that my 86 yr old grandma or the 13 yr old kid with a new HD camera could shoot. There is a reason why legitimate filmmakers work in Hollywood and shooters who couldn’t get a real gig make porn. This really bugs the hell out of me when I hear someone like Max or others claiming to be “filmmakers” when they are nothing more than pussy weirdos that could never make a film with Paramount or October films.
I guess that throws a wrench in or sidetracks any water sport career comeback I had planned. Folks, try to understand. Vet oldtimers switch to WS when the teste well runs dry. It’s just business. The most shocking of us must be allowed to ply their trade so that the so-called upstanding sleaze status quo can survive.
First they came for yellow porn video liquid salesmen.
Watch out, people. White is next…
