Judge Orders Sex Club To Shut Down

There is an important thing to take from this:

The club was shut down by applying zoning laws. In many areas, adult related business are restricted from operating within a certain distance of various "key" things, such as churches, schools, playgrounds, amusement parks, other adult businesses, licensed establishments, hospitals, and similar. These zoning laws are cleverly written so as to just about make it impossible to find space to operate an adult business.

With the new 2257 "rules", many american webmasters will be forced to declare their home as their business address. You work in an ADULT business. You might want to consider the ramifications of that versus your local zoning bylaws.

The zealous over enforcement of laws is what makes the US such a nice, free place.
