Capital Video vigorously opposed these regulations in court and lost. We recount the story here.

Fundamentally, the problem is that Capital Video has a financial incentive to be lax about activities within their stores with viewing booths (patron: “…there’s more money going in the machines with lights off and holes in the walls”).

In the absence of regulations, one of Capital Video’s own patrons suggests an awareness that lax periods follow restrictive ones (periods when Capital Video cracks down to avoid government action): “I agree that it is not really worth the time with the bright lights and no holes but they will be back eventually. Be Patient!”
