A Comparative Research on Civil Liability of Internet Service Providers Emphazising on U.S.A and European Legal System

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide for their users a possible to access to internet and facilities on it. On the whole, we can talk about both on the tort liability of ISPs for acts connecting with them and liability for user’s activities. The later is the most important and arguable subject about ISP liability. Contractual liability is also another form of liability for ISPs. The liability in the first type is based on fault. Thus, it must be cleared the creating elements of liability as including the fault element in order to establish that liability. In the second type of ISP tort liability the fault liability system is currently used and the reasons for those who say as opposite to it are not acceptable. Notwithstanding, ISPs are currently impunity of liability in U.S. and European Systems in which this impunity are applied as rule.
