The forces of good (the ACLU, etc.) won! PI issued!
http://www.aclu.org/court/acluvrenoII_pi_order.html
"it is hereby ORDERED that the motion is GRANTED and defendant Janet Reno,
in her official capacity as Attorney General of the United States, and,
pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(d), defendant's officers,
agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, and those persons in active
concert or participation with defendant who receive actual notice of this
Order, are PRELIMINARILY ENJOINED from enforcing or prosecuting matters
premised upon 47 U.S.C. 231 of the Child Online Protection Act at any
time(7) for any conduct(8) that occurs while this Order is in effect."
(though the reasoning needs help)
just thought y'all would be interested in a news flash.
