Thanks Mildred for sharing this, it makes perfect sense that the service providers are not held liable for the actions of users, it is a step in the right direction for courts to separate the users and service providers in regards to copyright infringement. A ruling in the alternative would have set a precedent that would create a severe blow to platforms which host content posted by users as they would have to struggle with screening of content.
