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 373 of 1057 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 06-Apr-2004 19:13 GMT | In reply to Comment 363 (Fabio Alemagna): @Fabio
Like I said, you ARE playing word games. You always do this rather than address issues. If Christian were to publish everything verbatim, you would scrutinise it looking for how you can justify BBRV's actions.
Let me turn this round: if the accusation is NOT true, why has there been no denial whatsoever?
As for your substantiation, you have accused Christian of lying by implication. You offer no reason beyond the vagueness of his post for your stance, and say that you know exactly what his legal obligations and liabilities would be. Considering that you have no idea whatsoever what the conditions are, and no idea what jurisdiction the alleged communique would fall under, I have to ask where your legal expertise comes from?
NOTE: while infringements regarding site content may fall under EU or Luxembourg law, the comminications between Christian's "former employer" and himself does not have to.
Yes, I would like more detail on what is goin on, but only if it does not prejudice Christian's position. I repeat: YOU are not in a position to decide what would and what would not imperil his position. Neither am I. Only a lawyer fully conversant with the situation can do that. Failing that, I am prepared to accept Christian's judgement on the matter, and until I see a claim to the contrary, I am prepared to accept his word. |
