Hi, This message came to me from ALA. Amanda Amanda Williams, Consultant Central Texas Library System P.O. Box 2287 Austin, TX 78768-2287 800-262-4431 512-476-1668 ex. 13 [EMAIL PROTECTED] CIPA Decided! Concluding that "we are constrained to conclude that the library plaintiffs must prevail in their contention that CIPA requires them to violate the First Amendment rights of their patrons, and accordingly is facially invalid," the three-judge panel sitting in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ruled Sections 1712(a)(2) and 1721(b) of the Children's Internet Protection Act to be facially invalid under the First Amendment and permanently enjoined the government from enforcing those provisions.
