Alvin "Al" Goldstein (born January 10, 1936, New York City) is a former American publisher and pornographer. His company Milky Way Productions, owner of Screw, and the long-running cable TV show, Midnight Blue, was started in 1968 and went into bankruptcy in 2004. His mansion in Pompano Beach, Florida, complete with backyard 11-foot middle finger statue, was sold in June 2004 to pay debts.

In 2002 he was found guilty of harassing a former employee, doing such things as publishing her number in Screw and encouraging readers to call her, and sentenced to 60 days in prison. The charges were appealed and eventually overturned, but not before serving six days behind bars. As part of the plea bargain, Goldstein apologized for his action.


Personal Quote=

Goldstein stated, "The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks. We don't believe in authoritarianism." Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian culture and, as it penetrates to the very heart of the American mainstream...becomes more charged..."
