Supreme Court Leaves Porn Alone

A long legal drive to censor sexually explicit material on the Web ended in failure Wednesday when the Supreme Court let a 10-year-old anti-pornography law die quietly.
In striking down the law on free-speech grounds, the justices said parents could protect their children by installing software filters on their computers.
In a 5-4 decision, the justices sent the case back to a lower court in Philadelphia to decide if software filters were effective in screening out sexually explicit material.

Supreme Court to Rule on Janet’s Boob?

The Federal Communications Commission has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the indecency case over Janet Jackson’s breast-baring performance at the 2004 Super Bowl.
The FCC this week appealed a ruling by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, saying that court was wrong to throw out the case and a $550,000 fine against CBS Corp. in July.
The appellate court cited the FCC practice of not considering objectionable images indecent if they are “fleeting.”
In Jackson’s halftime show at the 2004 Super Bowl, which spawned the case, she briefly flashed a breast as she performed with Justin Timberlake.
