Alex, so true..... that is one reason I stopped doing CD Rom distribution. I had the Feds try to run a sting on me and get me to ship to Jacksonville Fla, in 1995. I knew better than to ship to Jacksonvile. But, I am sure that there were other areas that I didn't know about and could have gotten biten in the 'you know where!

That is one reason I get a little pissed everytime "Nogas famous zip code list comes up. It was not Nogas... it was from Greg Picconelli law firm - and was orginally made up for the leading video and CD rom publishers. They relied on that list to help keep them out of trouble.

There has been very little come from it where the internet is concernd (unless you were actually shipping product) but, in those days - you never knew where the next law suit was going to come from. I see that Acacia is after Python (who is not a Calfornia Co) but they say has enough ties there to sue them in Cal.) The same case could have been made by the feds for someone downloading pics from a website - in one of thos no - no areas. I think cases have been made along that vein - but they were people 'pushing the envelope.

No, 'the sky is not falling - but to me - it is better to error on the side of caution.

If your shipping via US Mail your a fool when it comes to adult CD Roms.

Dont think so? Ask the couple from amateuraction bbs. I think they are still in the federal pen.
