An article on CNET reports that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has upheld a ruling that AOL (and hopefully therefore other ISPs) are immune to prosecution over destructive files (such as viruses) sent over their common carrier systems from one user to another.
It appears that the CDA's safe harbor provisions will continue to provide some safety to ISPs.
