Two recent court cases, among others, could redefine Internet liability landscape for corporations with any sort of presence in Web 2.0.
These include the recent rulings on Fair Housing Council v. Roomates.com, LLC in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in California. For the first time, the court found that Web site operators could be liable for content placed on their sites by third parties.
In National Federation of the Blind v. Target Corp., the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California explored just how much corporations must accommodate disabled surfers on their Web sites.
