For those who haven't yet heard, Judge Gwin in the District Court in Ohio has granted the government summary judgment in the Junger case. Judge Gwin apparently agreed with the government that the "functionality" of encryption source code, and the government's claims that it only intends to regulate that "functionality" mean that the regulations are not "narrowly and directed at expressive conduct" and so do not merit prior restraint analysis. The Judge then held that the regulations were content neutral, applied the intermediate scrutiny tests and found that the export restrictions meet those tests. I haven't had the opportunity to review the decision yet. As soon as I have, I will post some brief comments. Still no decision from the 9th Circuit in Bernstein.
