CDT, Internet Industry Groups File Friend-of-the-Court Brief Opposing Net Censorship - CDT joined technology companies, content providers and free speech advocates in filing at the Supreme Court a friend-of-the-court brief in the challenge to the federal Child Online Protection Act (COPA). COPA makes it a crime for anyone to make available for commercial purposes on the Web material that is "harmful to minors" unless the person has restricted access by minors by requiring a credit card number. The brief filed before the Supreme Court argued that mechanisms exist to protect children that are more effective and less restrictive of lawful speech than the provisions of COPA. January 15, 2004
