Very easy to do: bring prosecutions charging both obscenity and 2257 violations.
Even if you beat the obscenity charges, you are looking at 5 to 10 years mandatory for the 2257 violations.
2257 violations are some type of an administrative violation so there is no pleading not guilty if your records are not perfect. Your guilt is self evident.
So why fight the obscenity charges if you are looking at 5 to 10 years anyways; just plead out and get the best deal you can. A guilty verdict for obscenity allows the gov't to seize your assets related to the business.
The scenario is a win/win for the government. They will bring charges, many cases won't go to trial, and, through seizures, they put adult companies out of business and get a pot load of cash to fund future prosecutions.
Just my best guess....
