"What I-Hub did is no different than a radio station that fails to delay-dump their feed with at least a 4 or 8 second delay so as to avoid a rouge caller or malicious personal attack being broadcast over the airwaves. The FCC had laws to protect the listeners, it's just the internet didn't."

The radio station can be fined by the FCC. Under US federal law website operators can not be held liable for content submitted by users. They can not even be sued for it. That is one of the reasons that a Canadian judgement will not be enforced and why foreign libel judgements are never enforced in the US against individuals. Both types of judgements contradict US law and public policy.
