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 208 of 1057 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Graham_nli on 06-Apr-2004 12:27 GMT | It is amazing ... just a month or so ago bbrv was seen as being good here by many many people ... now there are hardly no bbrv supporters left. What an amazing case of self-destruction.
Now I would like to see a copy of the letter that Christian received that prompted this thread, if it wouldn't create a legal problem by posting a scan. We also don't know many of the details behind the situation either, it would be handy for someone to post an accurate list of events.
>>SPECULATION BASED UPON THE FEW FACTS + RANDOM THOUGHTS FOLLOWS<<
As far as I've read, it appears that Christian was hired by bbrv to do something, but quit after a time. He might not have been paid for the work. This does sound familiar, as something like this happened to Wayne Hunt too, IIRC. It appears that terms of employment included the websites that these people ran be moderated in a manner that is good for bbrv/genesi? So basically bbrv tried buying off the owners of major Amiga websites to be positive for him, and possibly negative to other sites/entities like AW.net, Amiga Inc, and so on? Now Christian didn't do this moderation at all naturally, so bbrv is coming after him? Of course, AW.net was kept off the links area until today. Maybe bbrv wished Christian had moderated his own comments that were used in the court case? Maybe he is trying to get Christian to remove those comments so that bbrv can claim that the posts were never made? Maybe bbrv is going after Christian because of that fake Fleecy e-mail that he used in the case, and which may have been a cause of an as-yet-unknown-to-us decision by the Judge against Thendic?
So the above >>SPECULATION<< is what we end up with with the dearth of facts available at the moment! Regardless, bbrv is on very shaky legal ground at the moment, and has lost the support of a lot of the community that he had a mere few months ago. |
