Online Defamation

Does 1-30, et al. v. Franco Productions, et al.

A group of college athletes filmed in various states of undress without their knowledge or consent were barred by a Chicago judge from suing the Internet service providers that hosted Web sites offering the clandestine tapes for sale.

On June 22, 2000, U.S. District Judge Charles P. Kocoras granted PSINet and GTE Corp.'s motion to dismiss Plaintiff's third amended complaint, saying the companies are immune from liability under the Communications Decency Act of 1996.
