Woohooo!!! Finally, those judges do something right!!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court on Monday upheld a provision of a 2003 federal law making it a crime to promote or present material as child pornography.

In a victory for the Bush administration, the high court by a 7-2 vote rejected the argument that one part of the law illegally infringed on free-speech or other rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.

The justices overturned a ruling by a U.S. appeals court that struck down the provision on the grounds the government cannot suppress lawful free speech.

Opponents of the law argued it sweeps too broadly and could be applied to popular award-winning movies like "Lolita," "Traffic," "American Beauty" and "Titanic" that depict adolescent sex. The government replied that those movies are not child pornography and would not be targeted by the law.

The provision bars the advertising, promoting, presenting, distributing or soliciting of material in a way intended to cause others to believe it contains illegal child pornography. Violators face a sentence of at least five years in prison.

The ruling involved a Florida man, Michael Williams, who was arrested in 2004 after he traded messages in an Internet chat room with an undercover federal agent posing as a woman.

Williams offered to trade photos of children with the agent and then posted seven images of minors in sexually explicit conduct. Agents then searched his home and found more child pornography pictures on his computer.

Williams was convicted of one count of promoting and one count of possessing child pornography. The Supreme Court ruling dealt only with his conviction for promoting child pornography.
