Re: User generated content - immunity.

Good for website owners, yes. In the UK though, there's been some talk about making ISPs responsible for bad behaviour on the part of their users, which I should imagine means uploading warez sites, downloading piracy and so on. Not sure how that's going to work really.

I think there is a bit of a problem though because nobody really has responsibility for certain stuff on the 'Net. Sure, that's part of the Net's appeal as well, but still, I wonder how sustainable that position is in the long term. Or how appealing. I mean some of the user generated content is vile, there's an example I came across which trolls a MUD that's one of the biggies here and it's just... horrible...

Added, I don't want to add the URL because I don't want to feed the troll
