Legal Research on Usenet Liability Issues

[Dick Dunn]

Egad!  With all due respect to the Great American Legal Tradition of
Gratuitous Polysyllabic Obfuscation, this article takes several thousand
words to tell us:

	USENET is different; there isn't any legal precedent to show just
	what potential liabilities exist.

Adding some detail:

	It has some elements of a "common carrier" and some of a
	"broadcaster"; thus it is affected by precedents for these two.

But didn't we already know that???
