The tactic is old hat ... in particular, read up on Amateur Action BBS and Operation Pipe Dreams - both very different and yet the tactics to legally snare the suspects were similar.
Many adult websites, especially those that physically ship goods, won't sell to customers located in various states / regions to reduce their chances of running afoul of local community standards and other various laws of some overly aggressive jurisdictions...
And risky jurisdictions can potentially include other countries, such as in the case of Kentucky seizing numerous gambling related domain names, including some from people that don't even live in the U.S.
