Section 230 of The Communications Decency Act - Limits

Limits

Section 230's coverage is not complete: it excepts federal criminal liability and intellectual property law. In Perfect 10, Inc. v. CCBill LLC, the Court of Appeals ruled that the exception for intellectual property law applies only to federal intellectual property law, reversing a district court ruling that the exception applies to state right of publicity claims. The Friendfinder court specifically discussed and rejected the Ninth Circuit's reading of "intellectual property law" in CCBill and held that the immunity does not reach state right of publicity claims.

Famous quotes containing the word limits:

    ... there are no limits to which powers of privilege will not go to keep the workers in slavery.
    Mother Jones (1830–1930)

    I fear chiefly lest my expression may not be extra-vagant enough, may not wander far enough beyond the narrow limits of my daily experience, so as to be adequate to the truth of which I have been convinced.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The great disadvantage, and advantage, of the small urban bourgeois is his limited outlook. He sees the world as a middle- class world, and everything outside these limits is either laughable or slightly wicked.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
