Will someone shine a light on this for me?
Section 1466:
"(a) Whoever is engaged in the business of selling or transferring
obscene matter, who knowingly receives or possesses with intent to
distribute any obscene book, magazine, picture, paper, film, videotape,
or phonograph or other audio recording, which has been shipped or
transported in interstate or foreign commerce, shall be punished by
imprisonment for not more than 5 years or by a fine under this title, or
both.
(b) As used in this section, the term ``engaged in the business''
means that the person who sells or transfers or offers to sell or
transfer obscene matter devotes time, attention, or labor to such
activities, as a regular course of trade or business, with the objective
of earning a profit, although it is not necessary that the person make a
profit or that the selling or transferring or offering to sell or
transfer such material be the person's sole or principal business or
source of income. The offering for sale of or to transfer, at one time,
two or more copies of any obscene publication, or two or more of any
obscene article, or a combined total of five or more such publications
and articles, shall create a rebuttable presumption that the person so
offering them is ``engaged in the business'' as defined in this
subsection."

From what this sounds like, you cannot bring up an online adult toystore, videostore, or any other related "product" business & ship across state lines, without risking imprisonment.
Does anyone have a real take on what this title suggests?
Thanks
