State Supreme Court to Hear Internet Libel Case
The case is interesting because it involves not just the defendant, but the Internet Service Provider. Should ISPs be responsible for what their clients say? Or are they protected, like AT&T and other telephone companies?

Thanks for pointing this out. We'll soon be looking at CDA 230(c)(1), which the ISPs are relying on for protection.

This report suggests that plaintiff's argument didn't get much support from the court.
