California Court Ruling Favors Online Speech

isomeme writes: "A California court has ruled that posting another person's libelous text online is not a separate act of libel. See this article for the full scoop. One interesting twist is that the decision was justified in part by provisions of the much-denigrated Communications Decency Act (CDA). I'm not sure if this ruling is a good thing or not; as the opposing attorney pointed out, it seems to provide a loophole for libel, protecting online speech more than other varieties."
