Now that the CDA decision has been made, I was wondering how this would affect the liability status of the various remailer operators? In the past several remailers have opted to discontinue service due to legal/political pressure. Will this CDA decision help to decrease remailer operator liability?

I seem to get the idea that the problem is more in the realm of civil suits than problems with "direct" legality. I say direct, because IANAL and I don't know the correct way to phrase it. Saying it another way, it currently isn't the FBI that is the problem, but rather the CO$. Petro, Christopher C. petro@suba.com <prefered for any non-list stuff> snow@crash.suba.com
