But for years people felt they could get around the law by not using the US Postal Service. Using the USPS just adds another series of charges against them.
"The indictment also charges that those same defendants "knowingly used the United States mails to mail and deliver to a location in Northern Virginia, a DVD containing obscene matter," while another set of counts charges that those same defendants "knowingly used an express company or other common carrier for carriage in interstate commerce and delivery to a location outside of the State of Arizona, of a package which contained DVDs that are obscene."
Back in 1994 I remember reading about a video company being busted for sending videos to Virginia so that state was always on my internal taboo list.
