I am not a lawyer (in fact, I Am Not An Isp), but my understanding is this is pretty well settled.
And it is not even weird or esoteric. If the content on the site is against the law in the jurisdiction in question, it is not legal (duh). Otherwise, yes it is, and no ISP gets to decide whether you can see it or not.
Which is the "jurisdiction in question" ? the originating website? the ISP? the CDN network's corporate home? my home?
Again, well settled. It is where the end user is viewing the content _and_ where the content is served. If a CDN, then each node which serves the traffic must be in a place where it is legal. There are CDNs which do not serve all customers from all nodes for exactly this reason. -- TTFN, patrick
