I think it just okaloosa county, you can always buy over the internet or through a catalog.  Your in the panhandle right? pensacola and Panama city would probably have something, maybe maybe not.  But dont go to alabama the hardest you'll get there is penthouse, maybe a hustler.

The RIAA has to find a court that is willing to issue an injunction forcing limewire to close its networks.  Because injunctions block people's freedom, liberty, etc, they are somewhat difficult to obtain.  The RIAA has to show that limewire is violating their intellectual property rights.  Just like neighbor Tom has to prove that my building is trespassing on his land before he gets an injunction to stop construction, in a parallel way, the RIAA has to show that limewire is "trespassing" on their intellectual property.  The relevant precedent comes from the invention of VCRs.  Because they could be easily used to copy movies, etc, this pissed a lot of people off.  But the Supreme Court held that the legitimate uses (copying stuff you're allowed to copy, or recording your shows while you're on vacation) outweighed the illegal ones.  Even if the RIAA can show that the illegal uses outweigh the legal ones, this will take it a bunch of time an lawyer fees.  So limewire should be okay for a while.

The Homestead Act was passed in 1862 to provide land for anyone over 21 in the west of the United States. It never had anythign to do with Florida and is now not in effect.

I’m sure it does affect their sales somewhat. All retail outlets censer what they allow in their stores by choosing which products to put on their shelves and which to not whether for moral or economic reasons. They also do not sell porn videos at Wal-Mart, so you could say that they (and other retailers), some by law and some by choice, have been censoring content in their stores for moral reasons.  Is it worse or better for society to have access to these items...it doesn't matter, this is a retail store and they choose what is sold there based on their beliefs and culture of the corp. involved that best suits their business needs.

It is very tricky to answer. Yes it's a hard situation (no pun intended) the learning sites have routes to porn. Remember, the bill of rights was invented with no concept of internet and stuff, to stop the people posting the sites, you might be asking to tamper with our basic freedoms. This is an interesting topic.

Florida has not allowed common-law marriages since at least 1968.  I have posted a link to the specific code section below.

Whether or not it is obscenity really has nothing to do with whether or not it should be illegal.  Just because something is a bad idea doesn't mean it is the government's job to stop you from doing it.  People need to have the freedom to make their own decisions and take responsibility for their own actions.  Obvious exceptions are when someone else is harmed (child pornography).

You are wrong about it being legal in the US.  Most states still have laws on the books.  It just isn't enforced.\n\nIn some states, certain acts (like sodomy and fellatio) are still illegal -- even with your spouse.

The only thing I can imagine you're talking about is pot, and no you can't take that to another state. In fact, you can't really have it in the state you're in, because it is against federal law.

I just read in some ones Answers that it was illegal to feed the homeless in Fl. That is horrible I really am shocked Florida should not be allow to do that. I think Fl should be in trouble for that.

First Amendment jurisprduence tightly restricts Congress from enacting such regulations.  The Supreme Court has articulated a test in a case called Miller, which states that obscenity is unprotected, but requires it to meet three qualifications: First, the average person, applying community standards, considering the work as a whole, finds that the work appeals to the prurient interest; second, the work is a patently offensive depiction, applying community standards, of sexual conduct, as defined specifically by law; and third, as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.  That's a lot of burdens for Congress to reach, and it often includes too much protected speech when trying to identify obscenity.\n\nThe Court allowed restrictions on child pornography, too, in Ferber, so long as the work, first, visually depicts minors, who, second, are engaged in sexual acts lewdly exhibiting their genitals.  The Court later interpreted this prohibition as only concerned with the well-being of children in the creation of pornography, not the fostering of child molesters, and so virtual child pornography was found protected, so long as no children were actually harmed.\n\nIt seems like the Supreme Court is currently protecting a lot under the First Amendment, even things that seems pretty dangerous or pretty valueless.  Congress will have its work cut out to try to pass better regulations that can pass the Court's scrutiny.

when domain names aren't paid for they go back into the pool to be sold again to whoever buys them. That person can use them for porn, advertising or whatever they want.
