Dodging the Communications Decency Act when Analyzing Libel Liability of On-line Services

Columbia Science and Technology Law Review, Nov. 29, 1999


Analyzes the Lunney v. Prodigy online libel case, in which the N.Y. Supreme Court treated Prodigy like a common carrier to avoid having to address issues concerning retroactive application of section 230. The article concludes that analogizing online service providers to common carriers was unwise. In the process, the article discuses Cubby v. CompuServe, Stratton Oakmont v. Prodigy, Zeran v. America Online, and Blumenthal v. Drudge—four leading online libel cases.
