Valdis, A CDN is very much an ISP. It is providing transport for its customers from arbitrary Internet destinations, to the customer’s content. The caching done by a CDN is incidental to this transport, in accordance with the DMCA. The alternative is that you believe CDNs are not protected by safe Harbor. Is that the case? -mel via cell

ISPs acting as conduits do not, by definition (in the DMCA), store anything on servers.Note that ISPs whose business is 100% "acting as conduits" are in the minority. Hint: The DMCA has the text about data stored on ISP servers because many ISPs aren't mere conduits. And this thread got started regarding a CDN, which is very much all about storing data on servers.....
