Service provider status is a bit different in the fact that you can't actively moderate things but that has nothing to do with 2257.
Edit: Unless I'm missing something he just keeps a blog updated. Seems he'd be liable but wtf do I know.

Wrong, you can maintain 2257 exemption removing content after the fact via flags, complaints etc.. but when you are picking what to post, adding editorial content like he does with titles, nifty animated gif commentaries, then he's just full blown editing. My lawyer (Larry Walters / firstammendment.com) told me that would make you 2257 liable no matter where you hosted the content if you were in the US, and couldn't be defended in court.
