The 9th Circuit issued a ruling today in _Fonovisa v. Cherry Auction_ overturning an ED CA district court's ruling re vicarious liability for copyright and trademark infringement. If I remember correctly, the lower court's ruling was one of those relied upon by Judge Whyte in his recent _Netcom_ ruling. In any event, it looks like it's an important development in vicarious liability and thus liability for ISP's and remailers and other providers of electronic "space" or conduit. http://www.callaw.com/9415715.html -- "The anchored mind screwed into me by the psycho- | Greg Broiles lubricious thrust of heaven is the one that thinks | gbroiles@netbox.com every temptation, every desire, every inhibition." | -- Antonin Artaud |
