    The line begins with personal responsibility, and the line begins when they created a site made it index search able.

    At that moment they became personally responsible for the acts others would be using there website for.

    The ISP's also bare a responsibility believe it or not, and most ISP's if I am not mistaken will hand over records if a warrant is issued.

    They do this specifically so not to be held liable for the acts of its users. If they didn't they could be charged as accessories or harboring fugitives.
