I'm surprised that Larry didn't explain this to you beforehand: adult content production is only explicitly legal in California. It's illegal under prostitution and pandering laws in EVERY other state.
Sure, a ton of porn comes from Florida and elsewhere ? and the fact that it hasn't before now been pursued isn't because it's not illegal, it's because the state didn't want to lose the case and create another legal "porn valley" ? something about your case must have made them feel it was worth the chance.
I'm not being unsympathetic, but I am really surprised it took this long...
