Will this then make it ok??

So if they are in trouble for those people they told it was ok and then put the label on, why are they still getting sued and being liable for those after all the warnings??]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11234778 Fri, 03 Sep 2004 08:25:21 EDT Re: ISP Shouldn't Be Liable http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11230039 dosbubba :

Exactly, nor the company that makes bullets, laser sights, scopes, etc.

If we let this continue, residential Internet connections will eventually be restricted to 80 and 443 outbound, to selected "safe" sites.

An ISP should provide internet ACCESS. If I want any ports or services blocked, I'll do it myself with this handy dandy device called a firewall.

Kinda like making the gov't responsible if you steal a car, for having the road open, and allowing you to flee.
