Freedom from Political Correctness? - AOL was recently sued for failing to protect a Muslim subscriber from anti-Islamic speech in its chatrooms. This report from the ABA Journal explains that AOL won its case in Virginia Federal court, based both on the rejection of the idea that a chat room can be a "place of public accomodation" covered by civil rights laws, and also on the imunity that the Communications Decency Act grants to service providers. (When the Supreme Court struck down the law's anti-pornography sections, it preserved the sections that protect ISP's.) My old law school copyrights prof gets in a soundbite.
