The exact legal details of is so/is not is hardly to be decided on Hacker News. I am disturbed that one side gets its opinion heard and -- poof! -- down the memory hole that topic goes. It's really just a small version of SOPA in our community. PayPal, when it launched, was illegal in all fifty states. Would Hacker News have suppressed discussions of PayPal's business model?
Good point. Virginia certainly seems to think that it is legal for notaries to notarize across state lines. Perhaps CA disagrees, but they have never really stated as such.
