The Supreme Court today, in a 5-4 decision, upheld an appeals court injunction blocking the Justice Department from enforcing COPA, the Child Online Protection Act.

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) has been involved in every challenge to COPA, a web censorship law, which would require websites featuring "harmful to minors" material to use an age verification system to operate.
