Good news for the online world - a federal court threw out the COPA bill (Child Online Protection Act). I love this quote from Senior U.S. District judge Lowell Reed Jr.:
Perhaps we do the minors of this country harm if First Amendment protections, which they will with age inherit fully, are chipped away in the name of their protection.
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. It's refreshing to see this kind of thinking in a government official - kinda makes you wonder, though...
Compare this enlightened view from an appointed official to those of your elected officials. I'm not in favor of appointing rulers, mind you, but someone who can think for themselves is a breath of fresh air in government.
