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 265 of 1057 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 06-Apr-2004 15:17 GMT | In reply to Comment 145 (T_Bone): Fabio is playing games. I suspect his loyalty is probably swayed by the donation that was given to AROS as part of BBRV's "charm offensive".
I frankly see no other meaning to the message than this: BBRV is threatening to sue Christian with a view of closing down ANN. If he is successful on the basis of what people wrote on the site rather than because Christian made the issue of non-payment of advertising fees public, then he would set a precedent which would also allow him to do the same to Amiga.org. Wayne might want to track down that lesbian organisation and flog them the domain after all. :-P
I don't see Fabio saying that BBRV would be wrong to make the threat. Instead, he is saying that Christian is unprofessional for making the threat public without opening himself to other legal action by naming all the names involved.
Personally, I think that all such threats should be made public, and that the threatened party is right to do so in whatever manner least exposes them to legal retribution. Such matters are easy to prove one way or the other should both parties agree to have the correspondence made public, right? |
