The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that a

federal law that restricts adult ogramming to

the overnight hours if cable providers cannot fully

scramble the signal violates the First

Amendment.

The justices ruled 5-4 in favor of Playboy

Entertainment Group, saying that Congress

went too far in trying to protect children from

adult-oriented programs by implementing

Section 505 of the Telecommunications Act of

1996.
