---- Landmark Court Decision Holds Webhost Liable for Acts of Hosted Site

Web hosting companies should be liable for what's being hosted on their servers.

Come again?

So if a landlord has a tenant who turns out to be growing marijuana or cooking meth in the basement that the landlord should be liable?

If a landlord's tenant beats his wife then the landlord should be held liable?

I am not sure where you are coming from with that statement.

You really feel that it is the job of a private corporation to police it's customers?

I agree that once served with a DMCA the host should act, and not ignore it... but to say they are liable simply for having a client who isn't doing the right thing is something I can't agree with.

Someone rents a car and drinks and drives and the car rental place is liable? That is absurd.
