Cloudflare's not selling the website. Is the Ford dealership liable when you show up at their door, ask how to get to 1308 Halifax, they direct you there, and then the people at 1308 Halifax sell you a counterfeit Ford?

Is the landlord at 1308 Halifax liable when his tenants sell someone a counterfeit Ford?

If you tell the landlord their tenant is selling counterfeit fords and they do nothing and continue to collect rent from the counterfeiter while looking the other way, at what point are they complicit in the crime?

Never. How would they be complicit in the crime?
