N.Y.: Blog not liable for defamatory comment: NY high court

Reuters
In a 4-3 ruling, the Court of Appeals held that the Communications Decency Act shields the Real Estate Group of New York Inc., or TREGNY, from liability for defamation and unfair competition against Ardor Realty Corp, because TREGNY was the blog's administrator, not the author of the comments in question.
