Coyote Publishing, Inc. v. Miller
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (2010) | 598 F.3d 592; 38 Media L. Rep. (BNA) 1385; 2010 U.S. App. LEXIS 5182
TL;DR: The Ninth Circuit upheld Nevada's restrictions on advertising for legal brothels. The court found that the state's substantial interest in limiting the "commodification of sex" justified the infringement on commercial speech under the First Amendment.
Legal Significance: This case establishes that a state's interest in limiting the commodification of a human activity, such as sex, is a substantial government interest under the *Central Hudson* test, justifying significant restrictions on advertising for a legal but socially disfavored activity.
