There are parts of ALL 50 states and bits and pieces of the "US Territories" that it is illegal. It is illegal in some counties to even own an adult DVD. The next county may promote it. It is like the gambling exemptions. If a polititian can get rich and powerful condemning it, he will. If they can do it by "liscencing it", that is what they will do. Then they will reverse themselves if the political climate changes. That is what happened in Florida. It was a live and let be policy for many years. Then power hungry officials thought it would be an easy way to boost the career(s), so off the deep end we go. These kind of arrests have been happening in places where it is licensed too, California and south Florida. Each one is a threat, and this one is as big a soapbox as they could find. The schedualing of this was pure political and with all the noise they could muster. That should be a wakeup call for everyone in this industry to rally together for a common cause. Even if we dont like each other, and most of us do, we are going to have to work together for OUR common good.
