COURT RULES CDA IMMUNITY EXTENDS TO ISP SPAM BLOCKING

 

BNA's E-commerce and Law Report reports that a federal court in Illinois has
ruled that the immunity provisions of the Communications Decency Act will
shield an Internet service provider from liability for suspected spam
e-mails blocked in good faith, irrespective of those e-mails' potential
CAN-SPAM compliance. The court said that an ISP blocking all e-mail from a
prolific marketer fell within the "good samaritan" provision of the
Communications Decency Act's intended immunity. Case name is e360 Insight
LLC v. Comcast Corp. (subscription required, free trial available) [BNA]
