Well it all depends on whether the liability of the host service is strict or unlimited. Prodigy monitored it's posters and painted itself in a corner in that a liable post became THEIR responsibility. Bit If you DON'T police and allow all then you can claim it's NOT your affair. SI is making the same mistake by suspending posters on occasion. Making it a monitored service and all liabilities apply. It is their funeral. The precedent is the strip club decision in the CDN supreme court and the Prodigy case where they could not claim that they were not responsible for posters content as they monitored it and occasionally enforced standards. The paradox is that to be a s--t about it and let the four winds blow is better to avoid touble but SI, although legally trained, doesn't get it. EC<:-}
