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.
