Even if it's not your comment, the owner of a blog still has the power to delete it. (Abe, are blog owners considered "Internet Publishers"? Or is the news item only referring to ISPs and web hosts run by individual users?) Anyway, I wonder if this new ruling will encourage hard-to-identify flamers/defamers to post their comment in popular, high traffic blogs. Afterall, the blog owner will not get sued, right? In addition, the blog gains additional traffic because of the ensuing drama unfolding in the Comments area. It's a win-win situation for both the blog owner and the third party flamer. I just wonder, though, how to establish accountability for the posted defamatory comments. I dunno… Even if it’s not your comment, the owner of a blog still has the power to delete it.

I'm assuming the case against ploghost is regarding a website that you host. (no need to reply, there's probably a gag order until your case is settled) Hold up your fist and declare "power to the people" It just seems like a logical conclusion that if it isn’t your comment, then you shouldn’t have to be held liable.

Comments from readers published in a certain blog/website didn't come from the publisher and most of the time the publisher don't personally know the person behind the comment. This is a very vague situation. Although you can hold the person who made the comment, you can't be sure who is he/she. :) I totally agree with the decision because publishers should never be held liable for those cases.
