Using SC Public Records for Solicitation

I currently live in New York, my network currently targets the majority of sellers using Direct Mail campaigns.  South Carolina has the following law: PURSUANT TO S.C. CODE §30-2-50, OBTAINING OR USING PUBLIC RECORDS FOR COMMERCIAL SOLICITATION DIRECTED TO ANY PERSON IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA IS UNLAWFUL, AND IS PUNISHABLE BY A FINE OF UP TO $500 AND IMPRISONMENT UP TO ONE YEAR, OR BOTH.

The only paid lists we generate are through List Source. If the rest are Lis Pendens and other Foreclosures, Probates, eCourt Files that are all public, does that mean that these lists are illegal to target in the state of South Carolina? Maybe my network is committing bad acts in New York and haven't known it.  Please let me know if this law is as bad as it sounds and what the limitations for this state are.  Thank you!
