Hello Mark - 

CA>> It seems that under our present interpretation anyone
CA>> connected with the transfer of content that exercises
CA>> control over that content can be held liable for that
CA>> content. Even scanning for virus with the option to
CA>> delete, reject, or modify the content automatically makes
CA>> that company liable for the entire content. 

ml> that is exactly correct... if you're scanning your message
ml> bases for illegal activities and you miss something, then
ml> you are liable because you were looking... if you just
ml> happen across something and don't report it, you are liable
ml> as an accessory because you didn't report it and you knew
ml> it was happening... if your system scans uploads for virus'
ml> and a new one gets by your software, you may be held liable
ml> if it is downloaded and damages someone's system... i say
ml> may because much of that defense would be based on the
ml> scanner(s) used and the update routines and proof of all
ml> this...
