Judge Strikes Down COPA, 1998 Online Porn Law 348
Begopa sends in word that a federal judge has struck down the Child Online Protection Act. The judge said that parents can protect their children through software filters and other less restrictive means that do not limit others' rights to free speech. This was the case for which the US Department of Justice subpoenaed several search companies for search records; only Google fought the order. The case has already been to the Supreme Court. Senior U.S. District Judge Lowell Reed Jr. wrote in his decision: "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."

It's a hard line to deal with at times, and wasn't well done in my own education. My parents had the morals right, but weren't very open. Getting married helped...a lot. My wife was educated well...and abstained.
