Judge rules craigslist is not pimping

CraigslistHere in the Bay Area, Craigslist is an invaluable resource. People use CL to find everything - jobs, apartments, furniture, free stuff... just about everything.

The site has come under attack for ads related to prostitution, but this past Tuesday, a U.S. District Judge threw out a civil complaint that accused Craigslist of pimping.

In this article on guardian.co.uk, the judge is quoted as saying: "A woman advertising erotic dancing for male clients is offering an adult service, yet this is not prostitution," he said, adding that Dart "cannot sue Craigslist for their conduct."

There are some ads that are very explicit, though, and don't bother with pretenses of anything but full-fledged prostitution. I'm sure that craigslist makes their users agree to some terms and conditions, that they're not using the site for any illegal purpose, so they aren't liable for what users post.
