Judge Rejects Sheriff's Suit Against Craigslist
jjohn24680 passes along word that a federal judge has thrown out a local sheriff's lawsuit accusing the online classified group Craigslist of facilitating prostitution. We discussed the case when it was filed back in March. Here is the decision (PDF). "As was pretty clear at the time, Craigslist is the service provider and is quite obviously protected by Section 230 immunity. ... Even after all of this was clearly explained to Sheriff Dart, he still insisted that his lawsuit made sense. It looks like the court system, however, does not agree. As expected, the case has been dismissed on Section 230 grounds."
Too bad they signed the mortgage and accepted the bank's cash to allow that to happen....
The banks are doing whatever the homeowners allowed them to do when they gave the bank a mortgage. The mortgage defines every right a homeowner is granting the bank. If they don't want to hand over those rights they don't have to sign the mortgage.
