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 178 of 1057 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 06-Apr-2004 11:55 GMT | In reply to Comment 157 (Eva): > If this legal action is from BBRV and Chris comprove it publically I will have to add only 3 words: BBRV fuck yourself!
Is there legal action? People get a bit carried away here and on other sites with the "ann under legal attack" aspect and don't read the crumbs of information that are presented. Instead, they pledge money for a legal counterattack ;) Christian does not confirm that legal action was taken, if I read the questionmark in the thread's title correctly. You run a forum, you will at some point meet people that threaten you with lawyers. People get upset, fact of life. Then they start throwing around threats and laywers. Happens all the time and seems to go away on its own, after heads have cooled down a bit. Barking dogs don't bite. It's a bit unusal though that a web master makes such an incident his top-story and a free speech issue. Maybe it's serious, maybe not. Maybe Christain has to defend himself as good as he can, maybe he is trying to milk it for best effect and his own cause. Who knows. |
