Proposed Legislation: ISP Liability
HR 2180: On-Line Copyright Liability Limitation Act
- Limited liability for passive carriage of bits
- “Notice and takedown” requirements
- no liability if you don’t know about the infringement
- once you’re notified, you have to act (take it down)
- if you take it down, you can’t be sued for doing so
- An incentive to stifle speech?
