[Publib] Intellectual Freedom and CIPA

[Bocher, Robert DPI]

FYI:

Chris Albertson is right.  Whether one agrees or not, the Supreme Court's legal rationale is well articulated in its opinion.  If you don't have time to review (or again review) the opinion, the rationale is briefly summarized in the callouts on slide #7 of my CIPA program at http://dpi.wi.gov/pld/ppt/cipa.ppt#7.
