Yes, there is a notice-and-takedown system going on on this website but this seems not to be enough. the story began in january 2006 when the newssite published some controversial information about the (blokes) company. It wasn't the article that disturbed him, but the comments. So he went and sued the website publishers for being responsible for the comments. Ages ago I usd to work as a free lancer for this publishing company and me and my mate set the terms and cons for the website. This was back in 2001 and we already set it clear that the website publishers are not responsible. Anyway ... let them fight ... if freedom of speech is not allowed in Estonia them i'm happy to live in the UK -- Sincerely, Jaan Jänesmäe ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.quilia.com -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
