I am currently being threatened by my former employer (they are "compelled [to] take action against [me]") for the way I am running ANN, and how this allegedly violates my employment contract with them ("interfere _in any manner_ with any business relationship between the Company and any of its customers or business partners"). This might entail drastic changes to the relative freedom of speech ANN has always allowed its visitors, or ANN might close down altogether. Updated 10:00 CET.

Legal threats? : Comment 155 of 1057 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Rich Woods on 06-Apr-2004 11:09 GMT | In reply to Comment 135 (Anonymous): Posted by Anonymous (80.133.128.34) on 06-Apr-2004 12:19:46
Just for consideration: at this point, the story is one-sided, placed by Christian on his own site, and not fleshed out with details. We can not verify facts, haven't heard the other side and don't know if claims made are true. Everybody is just jumping to conclusions. I personally found some of Christian's actions questionable in the past, such as placing the "advertising was not paid for" troll sign on ann. Neither do I like the removal of links to morphzone etc. I get the impression that, sometimes, ann and its visitors are used by Christian to score points (cheated out of money, now taking his revenge). I don't want to be used that way. Clear statements, facts: fine. But the backstabbing, from all sides, starts to get on my nerves.
--------------------------
Smart thinking. However - when more facts come to light - I'd be one of the first persons to donate $50 to a legal fund for ANN if needed.
And my word is good. Let's see how many others would do the same - real name and "pledge" IF NEEDED. |
