 Utah Child Protection Registry Act Challenge Denied by U.S. District Court [April 2007]
By Ronald G. London
The U.S. District Court in Utah has refused to issue a preliminary injunction in the challenge to the Utah Child Protection Registry Act, which allows registration of email addresses and other "contact points" utilized by minors (e.g., IM identities, phone/fax/wireless numbers, etc.), and bars for those contact points the marketing of goods and services that are illegal for minors to buy and/or the transmission of material that is itself "harmful to minors" (e.g., pornographic content). The registry affects the practices of providers of alcohol, cigarettes, gambling, and adult-entertainment and related products, among others. The Act imposes strict liability, and fines of up to $1,000 per message sent in violation of the law, as well as potential criminal penalties.
