Cheers David Legal Liability for Internet Service Providers Under the Communications Decency Act By Edmund B. (Peter) Burke Should Internet service providers (ISPs) be held responsible for illegal activities committed by their users? The U.S. Communications Decency Act (CDA) generally says, "no," but the courts are still interpreting the scope of that protection. This article explains what the CDA provides and how the courts are applying it to shield ISPs from legal liability. http://www.gigalaw.com/articles/2001/burke-2001-05-p1.html ===== David Goldstein 2/3 Belmont Ave, Glen Iris 3146, Australia email: Goldstein_David () yahoo com au phone: +61 3 9885 0601 (home) +61 418 228 605 (mobile)
