AP - The Supreme Court blocked a law meant to shield Web-surfing children from dirty pictures and online come-ons, ruling Tuesday that the law also would cramp the free speech rights of adults to see and buy what they want on the Internet.

Supreme court rules web porn is free
speech 06/29/2004 12:00 PM
Today, America's highest court ruled that a law intended to punish child pornographers is an unconstitutional restriction for online free speech.

The high court divided 5-to-4 over a law passed in 1998, signed by then-President Clinton and now backed by the Bush administration. The majority said a lower court was correct to block the law from taking effect because it likely violates the First Amendment. The American Civil Liberties Union and other critics of the law said that it would restrict far too much material that adults may legally see and buy, the court said. "Today's ruling from the court demonstrates that there are many less restrictive ways to protect children without sacrificing communication intended for adults," said ACLU associate litigation director Ann Beeson in a statement. Beeson argued the case before the court in 2001 and again last March.

Here is the coverage in The New York Times and the New York Law Journal about the denial of United for Peace and Justice's Sunday rally in Central Park (United for Peace and Justice v. Bloomberg, 111893/04), and here is what NY Supreme Court1 Justice Silbermann said: [...] the evidence established that the department's determination was based on entirely content-neutral factors, to wit: that the Great Lawn2 was not an appropriate venue for a demonstration of this magnitude. [...] The Parks Department appropriately applied content-neutral regulations while leaving plaintiff with a reasonable alternate site.

US Supreme Court upholds long copyright
terms 03/13/2003 10:16 AM

The United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of retaining the 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act ( CTEA ). The CTEA extended the lifetime of copyrights to 95 years past the moment of publication. According to the majority opinion in the 7-2 ruling, Congress acted within Constitutional bounds five years ago, when it added to preexisting terms for copyright ownership. Dissents from Justices Breyer and Stevens argued that the law's practical effects were deleterious to public culture.

The decision represents the end of one battle in the copyright struggles. It stands as a victory for several intellectual property (IP) holders' groups, such as the RIAA and MPAA , perhaps signalling an era of effectively perpetual copyright . It's a defeat for litigants and supporters like Web publisher of public domain works Tim Eldred , and Stanford cyberlaw professor Lawrence Lessig .


For students and educators, the fallout is complex, although the decision changes no law. As consumers of intellectual property, we must continue to be vigilant about seeking permission for IP that has not yet fallen into the public domain. As IP producers, we continue to retain ownership for nearly a century.
