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:
“I shall have the veil withdrawn and be allowed to gaze unblinded on the narrow limits of my own possibilities.”
—Beatrice Potter Webb (1858–1943)
“Mysticism and exaggeration go together. A mystic must not fear ridicule if he is to push all the way to the limits of humility or the limits of delight.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“Mathematics alone make us feel the limits of our intelligence. For we can always suppose in the case of an experiment that it is inexplicable because we don’t happen to have all the data. In mathematics we have all the data ... and yet we don’t understand. We always come back to the contemplation of our human wretchedness. What force is in relation to our will, the impenetrable opacity of mathematics is in relation to our intelligence.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
