Judge throws out internet porn law

It seems like everything on the radar screen today is about porn. A federal judge struck down an internet porn law presumably designed to prevent kid's from accessing on-line porn. The judge effectively said in his decision that it wasn't up to the courts to do the parent's job in preventing access to adult content.

He noted, and I'm paraphrasing here, that if parents are too uninvolved to spend enough time with their kids to prevent them from accessing inappropirate material, the technology exists for them to filter it themselves. He rightly ruled that the danger to the First Amendment overrode any practical influence such a law might have on availibilty of the content in question.

Good for him.
