First amendment essay paper - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Hey,
I have an english paper that has to do with my position on the first amendment. I wanted to use some tech related articles so I wouldn't be bored to death by this paper. I have to use 4 court cases to back my stance up. Cases that have to do with either freedom of speech, freedom of press, or censorship. I was thinking about using that case with the kid trying to publish the code that bypassed dvd copyright protection. What was that case? Any other cases worth looking into?

Thanks,
Robert

this court found the DCMA to be an unconstitutional abridgement to the first amendment, specifically regarding freedom of speech: http://linas.org/banned/crypto/mpaa-v-2600-agr.htm

this more tangibly talks about the DCMA's effect on freedom of speech: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertain...ia/1682467.stm

and here's a ZDnet editorial on the internet's surprising lack of freedom of speech: http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/4520-6033_16-4204930.html

of course, there's always google: http://www.google.com/search?q=dcma+...UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
