US: Court Pours Cold Water on Porn Law
The Supreme Court's decision to send the Child Online
Protection Act (COPA) back to a lower court is reaping
praise among civil liberties groups and disappointment
from conservative policy groups -- and could prove the
beginning of a boom of sorts for software companies
that develop products that let parents restrict what
their kids can see on the Internet.

us: Zittrain on COPA and the First Amendment
Yesterday, the Supreme Court again blocked enforcement
of the Child Online Protection Act (COPA), citing that
it has not yet been proved that voluntary use of
Internet filters would not work as well as legally
enforced use. COPA penalizes entities for material
that is "harmful to minors", therefore restricting
speech and arguably violating the First Amendment. In
today's New York Times, Professor Jonathan Zittrain
comments on this, explaining that filters may easily
be turned into censors if required by law.

us: Bachus to continue pornography battle
Congressman Spencer Bachus believes Internet
pornography is quickly becoming the tool of choice for
pedophiles and child molesters. That is why in 1998,
Bachus said he helped to pass the Child Online
Protection Act to shield American children from
Internet pornography. In a case before the Supreme
Court today, the group had the opportunity to uphold
and enforce this responsible protection of the
nation's children.

Nation's Children Against Internet Pornography (news
release)
The American Center for Law and Justice, which
specializes in constitutional law, said today's
decision by the U.S. Supreme Court blocking the
implementation of the Child Online Protection Act
(COPA) is disappointing. The Supreme Court refused to
overturn an appeals court decision that declared COPA
unconstitutional and sent the case back to a lower
court for trial. The ACLJ supported the position of
the Department of Justice in the case of Ashcroft v.
ACLU.

The United States Supreme Court ruled Tuesday (June

children from the devastating effects of Internet
pornography, the Child Online Protection Act (COPA),
is unconstitutional. In a 5-4 decision, the Court
sided with the American Civil Liberties Union, ruling
that filtering software was a less restrictive
alternative to the requirements of COPA.

zensieren wie die klassischen Medien. Das ist das
Resümee der Studie The Internet In the Arab World -- A
New Space of Repression? des Arabic Network for Human
Right Information (HRINFO). Das Netzwerk, das eng mit
dem Arabic Portal for Human Rights zusammenarbeitet,
wollte ursprünglich vor allem die Gründe für die
langsame Entwicklung von Nutzerzahlen und Inhalten --
nur ein Prozent aller Webseiten ist arabischsprachig
-- in der Region aufdecken. Die elf Länderstudien
hätten dabei schnell gezeigt, dass neben Armut und
Analphabetismus vor allem politische Repression für
die langsame Entwicklung verantwortlich seien.

Financing the Information Society in the South: A
Global Public Goods Perspective By Pablo Accuosto
(ITeM) and Niki Johnson, June 2004
This paper sets out to look at the question of
financing the provision of information and
communication technologies (ICTs) in the South, within
the context of the United Nations' World Summit on the
Information Society, and advocates adopting a "global
public goods" perspective on the issue. The paper
first examines how the question of ICT financing has
been debated during the WSIS preparatory process and
the first phase Summit (Geneva, December 2003).
Particular attention is paid to Senegal's proposal for
the creation of a "Digital Solidarity Fund", and the
reactions to it of the different stakeholders
governments, from both North and South, the private
sector and civil society participating in WSIS. The
following section explores the potential for
addressing the issue of financing ICT expansion from a
global public goods (GPG) perspective. First the
authors provide an overview of what such an approach
means in conceptual terms, looking both at general
definitions of GPGs and the applicability of the
concept to ICTs. They then review the debate that has
been taking place around the specific issue of which
existing or alternative innovative financing
mechanisms might be used for GPG provision, linking
the proposed strategies whenever possible to the ICT
sector. Finally, in the conclusions the authors offer
a concrete proposal with respect to what we consider
to be the most appropriate financing mechanism for
funding expanded ICT access in the South. APC
gratefully acknowledges the funding support of CIDA.
