CYBERSPACE LAW, PROPERTY LAW & REAL ESTATE

     VOYEUR DORM, L.C. v. CITY OF TAMPA, FL, No 00-16346 (11th Cir.
     September 21, 2001)
     Tampa City Code 27-523, which regulates adult businesses, applies
     only to locations or premises where adult entertainment is actually
     offered to the public, not where such entertainment can be viewed in
     other locations via the Internet.
