	Child Online Protection Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Parts of the earlier and much broader Communications Decency Act had been struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court; COPA was a direct response to that decision, narrowing the range of material covered.
		In 1999, the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the injunction and struck down the law, ruling that it was too broad in using "community standards" as part of the definition of harmful materials.
		COPA is sometimes confused with COPPA, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which remains in force and limits the ability of sites to offer services to those aged twelve and under without explicit parental consent.

	Copa América - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Copa América is the main national football competition of the CONMEBOL nations.
		The Copa América is the oldest surviving national football competition in the world, as it was held for the first time between July 2 and July 17, 1916 as part of the commemorations of Argentina's independence centenary.
		For the Copa América 2001, Canada was an invitee, but on July 6, 2001 withdrew because of security concerns.

	No. 00-1293: Ashcroft v. ACLU - Petition
		COPA's definition also tracks the standard that is used in state laws that prohibit the display to the public of material that is harmful to minors and that require that such material be placed behind a blinder rack, in a sealed wrapper, or in an opaque cover.
		COPA differs from the CDA in important ways that support Congress's judgment that COPA is the least restrictive way to further the government's compelling interest in protecting children from the effects of materials that are harmful to minors.
		COPA, by contrast, is specifically limited to material that is "patently offensive with respect to minors," and it identifies the particular types of sexual activities the depiction, description, or representation of which is prohibited.

	Ashcroft v. ACLU (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The government's argument that COPA is necessary because pornography does not provide children "with a normal sexual perspective" and "impairs their moral development" is not an acceptable basis for a criminal censorship law.
		COPA is void for vagueness because there is no way to identify what words or images would be considered suffi-ciently prurient, offensive, and lacking in serious value for minors to violate the law in any particular community.
		And to construe COPA to apply only to expression that is thought to lack serious value for a "a legitimate minority of older minors," as the government suggests, would both eviscerate the law and make it virtually indistinguishable from the obscenity standard that applies to adults.

		The Copa Libertadores has a preliminary round in which a number of clubs, currently 12, are paired in a series of two-legged knockout ties.

	law.com - 3rd Circuit Again Declares COPA Unconstitutional
		Writing for the court, Senior 3rd Circuit Judge Leonard I. Garth found that COPA fails the strict scrutiny test because the definitions of key terms and provisions in the statute were not narrowly tailored.
		Garth found that COPA was passed after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Communications Decency Act, and that Congress was trying to cure the problems that the high court identified in the CDA.
		Notably, Garth said, COPA is limited to those who "knowingly" publish material that is "harmful to minors" on the World Wide Web and for a "commercial" purpose.

	Document: Appeals Court Opinion in ACLU v. Reno (COPA), 6/22/00.
		COPA is Congress's second attempt to regulate the dissemination to minors of indecent material on the Web/Internet.
		Therefore, the District Court concluded that COPA was not the least restrictive means for the government to achieve its compelling objective of protecting minors from harmful material.
		Two possible ways to limit the interpretation of COPA are (a) assigning a narrow meaning to the language of the statute itself, or (b) deleting that portion of the statute that is unconstitutional, while preserving the remainder of the statute intact.

		Unlike the CDA, COPA applies only to material displayed on the World Wide Web, covers only communications made for commercial purposes, and restricts only “material that is harmful to minors,” 47 U.S.C. (a)(1).
		Respondents–who post or have members that post sexually oriented material on the Web–filed a facial challenge before COPA went into effect, claiming, inter alia, that the statute violated adults’ First Amendment rights because it effectively banned constitutionally protected speech, was not the least restrictive means of accomplishing a compelling governmental purpose, and was substantially overbroad.
		The District Court issued a preliminary injunction barring the enforcement of COPA because it concluded that the statute was unlikely to survive strict scrutiny.

	Fed-Soc.org - Court Enjoins Enforcement of COPA - Spring 1999 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		By its terms, COPA subjects persons who knowingly distribute material that is harmful to minors via the World Wide Web to criminal and civil penalties, including fines of up to $50,000 per violation and as many as six months in prison.
		In addition to preventing enforcement of COPA in the near term, Judge Reed's opinion is also an important indicator of the probable result should the COPA litigation reach a trial on the merits.
		The court did not consider plaintiffs' additional arguments that COPA violates the First Amendment as applied to minors and that the Act is unconstitutionally vague in violation of the First and Fifth Amendments.

		Defending the right to free speech and criticizing aspects of COPA was Nadine Strossen, New York Law School professor and president of the American Civil Liberties Union.

		COPA’s effectiveness is likely to diminish even further if it is upheld, because providers of the materials covered by the statute simply can move their operations overseas.
		Filtering’s superiority to COPA is confirmed by the explicit findings of the Commission on Child Online Protection, which Congress created to evaluate the relative merits of different means of restricting minors’ ability to gain access to harmful materials on the Internet.

	Amicus Brief \| Child Online Protection Act (COPA)
		The affirmative defenses contained in COPA, which essentially would require many speakers on the Web to create "adults-only" zones for their speech, do not mitigate — rather, they contribute to — the substantial burdens imposed on speakers and recipients of constitutionally-protected speech.
		COPA is neither effective, nor the least restrictive means for protecting children from "harmful" content on the Web.
		COPA is unconstitutional because there are less restrictive measures Congress could have relied upon that would have been both more narrowly tailored in their impact on protected speech and more effective in preventing minors from accessing "harmful" material on the Internet.

		Copa's inflight magazine had a nifty little route map in it, boldly labeling Panama City as "Hub of the Americas".
		Copa does fairly well on some routes, but mostly, they seem to come out on tops when you fly longer trips, like from the U.S. to someplace in south america.

		COPA makes a point of questioning assumptions and has found a number of cases in which the public was, indeed, being misperceived.
		Through an extensive study, in conjunction with the Center for International and Security Studies at the University of Maryland, it was demonstrated that even when members of the policy community who had this perception were given the opportunity to propose their own poll questions, the public still did not show the assumed tendency toward isolationism.
		COPA' s approach uniquely includes members of the policymaking community in poll question development to ensure questions are balanced and reflect the prevailing policy debate.

		Congress passed COPA in response to a 1997 Supreme Court ruling that struck down most of an earlier law called the Communications Decency Act that would have prohibited sending "indecent" or "obscene" material to children.
