"The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals filed its opinion in Zango v. Kaspersky
yesterday. Zango had sued Kaspersky Labs because Kaspersky’s software
blocks Zango’s software. Kaspersky claimed that it was immune to lawsuit
under the safe harbor provision of the Communications Decency Act of 1996
§ 230.

The district court had granted summary judgment in Kaspersky’s favor, but
Zango appealed. The Court of Appeals agreed with the district court and
affirmed [1] their decision."
