I need to come up with a way to limit users’ access to a page to IP addresses within North Carolina. This has to do with usage rights for some MP3 audio. Are there companies that provide this service or is there a list of IP address ranges for a geographical location? This is on a Unix, JBoss/Seam environment. Thanks.

Despite the fact that is not a good idea (users can use a proxy and bypass this restriction), you can find many services googling for it: http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=ip+geolocation&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
As far as I know, http://www.maxmind.com is one of the best availableand is used in sites like Sourceforge.
You should implement this restrictions on your application not your server via .htaccess files.
