High Court Hears Web Porn Case
library pornThe US Supreme Court today is hearing arguments in a landmark case that will determine whether the nation's public libraries should filter Internet access. In 1999 Congress passed the Children's Internet Protection Act, which ordered federally funded libraries to install Net filters on their computers. The law was ruled unconstitutional by an appeals court in Pennsylvania. The court sided with plaintiffs, including the American Library Association, who argue that the filters are imperfect and block access to too many legitimate websites. The government is appealing, and the Supreme Court will decide. We'll have the details of this high-impact case.

Are You Hot?
Hot or NotHave you seen the new "reality" show Are You Hot? In case you've been missing it, young (and vain) adults appear before three ruthless judges in various states of undress, and the judges determine whether or not the contestants are hot. A few years ago, a couple of guys started a fun website, Hot or Not, where you can judge if people who post their photos are hot or not. Now those guys are steamed that the show "borrowed" the name. There's no affiliation between the two, or between Hot or Not and the dozens of other similar sites that have popped up since the creation of the original. See why the Hot or Not guys are so upset, on tonight's show.
