Federal Appeals Court Upholds Ban on Internet Censorship Law
The American Civil Liberties Union today welcomed a federal appeals court ruling that COPA, a law meant to safeguard children against Internet pornography would block lawful and valuable speech for adults.
The so-called Child Online Protection Act, also known as "COPA," made it a federal crime to use the World Wide Web to communicate "for commercial purposes" material considered "harmful to minors," with penalties of up to $150,000 for each day of violation and up to six months in prison.
