It is free to people who use it, but it makes $$ for Craig. Ergo, along with profits comes responsibility.

I believe courts have already laid this as precedent.

Yes, the part that brings dollars brings responsibility. the other parts don’t. As I mentioned in a previous post Craigslist is the model of the bulletin board in a restaurant or store that has business cards and ads posted to it. It is a free service of the restaurant that is otherwise “making money” from their site (brick and mortar). Making them responsible removes a useful service to them and their customers. Those posting the ads are responsible and, yes, there is precedent:
