Saying myspace is responsible for the messages sent by its users is like saying that since a rock fell from space and hit my car the FAA/Norad/Airforce/Nasa is responsible for repairs.

Well if the FAA/Norad/Airforce/Nasa are responsible for putting that rock into space in the first place then ya, they are responsible for it when it comes back home to roost.
Your analogy is, while valid, is kinda misleading. If your going to compare holding myspace responsible for the abuse it uses can levy against each other then you should compare it to people suing the fast food industry for making them fat. Didn't work out to well the first go around, but then again when it was tobacco being sued it took years before those bastards had to pay up. Give it time, some slimy trial lawyer who has gotten fat off of ripping people off while managing their loved ones estates will figure out how to beat the system and win a huge judgment against Myspace or other similar site over something like this.
