this just happend with the case against extreme associates. The ordered movies and had them shipped to a conservative pittsburg so that they can charge them in that area.
The supreme court ruled in the COPA case that local community standard can be used in internet cases so if you run a site from your office in Los Angeles you can be charged in Ohio. So far they haven't done that, but there is bound to be a test case one of these days.
