Kaspersky gets “good samaritan” immunity

Posted on June 26, 2009July 3, 2025 by Dissent

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals filed its opinion in Zango v. Kaspersky yesterday. Zango had sued Kaspersky Labs because Kaspersky’s software blocks Zango’s software. Kaspersky claimed that it was immune to lawsuit under the safe harbor provision of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 § 230.

The district court had granted summary judgment in Kaspersky’s favor, but Zango appealed. The Court of Appeals agreed with the district court and affirmed (pdf) their decision.
