As a lawyer who dabbles in IP/cyber law (not admitted in VA, so I can't help out), I really love seeing personal injury/criminal defense attorneys send cease and desist letters to publishers who are clearly protected under federal law.

Nothing. However S230 creates a safe harbor for publishers, which is common knowledge for anyone practicing IP/cyber law.
