All the way back to Amateur Action BBS, the postal inspectors have been on the job.

Two lessons to learn from this situation:

Lesson 1: Don't promote scat, watersports, or 5 finger fisting, and certianly not all together.

Lesson 2: Don't send it through the mail. Selling videos through the mail, what with the issue of "community standards", it is a kill every time.

The online part will very likely never really make it through court, as they would have to prove that Orlando is the community of record for the online stuff, and they would have to prove that the website owner caused the transport or distribution (not clear in legal terms)... this one will come down to the standard "obscene stuff through the mail" and 5 year later, it will all be over.
Yea I understand that.. That's why you should always use FedEx or UPS and never the US postal office.. I just wouldn't have thought it would have been the postal inspector that did the actual investigation.

I figured an investigation like this would be carried out by the FBI and not the post office..
