| i think the illegal part is about the piracy and not the porn.
but reguardless it isnt the job of the ISP to be the parent(in the case of porn) or the police officer(in the case of Piracy). for example as a UPS Employee it isnt my job to insure that nobody is sending drugs and package bombs nore can the company be held liable for a delivered package bomb.

| Re: Porn Kearn,
I have to disagree with your example. By contrast, you gave a bad example. If USPS delivered a bomb, they would be liable. USPS is responsible for checking their packages to ensure illegal and dangerous contents are not being mailed. The USPS does it and I can't imagine UPS not. Hence, while your point was good, your example is not. | |

| Re: Porn Actually the USPS isn't liable for much, and while I'm not an attorney, I don't believe they are liable for delivering a bomb. I know they are statutorially sheilded from liability for damage/loss to your mail (if they fail to deliver a letter or package, you have no recourse), and I'm guessing (though I don't know) that the statute would protect them against damage to third parties. | |

| Re: Porn Vp,
You are far from correct. First, if I buy insurance on my package and it fails to arrive or is delivered damaged, I am compensated. However, if I fail to buy insurance, then I am out of luck. Yet, that has nothing to do with delivering dangerous ordinances. I guarantee you the USPS has xray machines for its packages, as I am sure every other postal entity. As the phrase goes, ignorance of the law is not an excuse. Therefore, playing dumb to what you deliver is also not one. Companies can be held reliable if proper safety measures aren't in place. While I am not a lawyer myself, I promise you this is true. | |

Yes, the USPS x-rays their packages. That's why it's possbile to mail order a bunch of photographic film and have it delivered in still usable condition. Duh-uh. | |

| Re: Porn You have to declare what it is captain obvious. If its photos, you have to state that. Otherwise, you will received blank negatives. Why do you think if you got through the airport you tell them you have film in your bag? The same goes for mailing a package. You tell them there is film in it, and obviously, they will use other means I am sure. | |
