To be fair any court would conclude that it's the same thing. The goods have to be shipped which is the essence of mail order so it's no surprise. Anyone with any sense knew they were taking a risk if running this kind of business.

BTW - for what it's worth I don't agree with the law as it doesn't stop the sales - just means people buy direct from places like Holland instead. However, the decision really isn't the big thing the article makes it out to be.
