Whoops. Sorry. Wrong context. What I should have said was "the 9th Circuit
upheld a CA statute forbidding sales of *printed* material considered
'harmful to minors' from unsupervised vending machines". The publication(s)
at issue are those newsprint swingers' magazines (e.g., "me and my friend
want to screw you and your friend. here is a picture of us naked.").
(doh!)

It's still mostly the same thing. I've never seen the type of machine
that you're talking about, and I don't think anyone would be dumb enough
to install one in a store that is near a school, or frequented my
minors. This law just does not seem like a very good idea.
