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 914 of 1057 | ANN.lu |
Posted by DaveP on 09-Apr-2004 05:37 GMT | @Fabio
If there was a contractual clause that would hinder CK from being able to speak out publically or could be invoked to close down ANN or otherwise persue CK for damages even in its vaguest sense it would have its most pertinence during the period of employment ( given the contract of employment wasn't voided by - say - not paying wages ) and if it extends beyond that period of employment these terms are generally limited ( mine is 3 months beyond termination of employment ) and may not even have validity in the state where it is signed.
So chances are, talking about this issue on ANN would not even have an effect on the threats validity, so aside from getting into a time machine and editing anything that shows Genesi in a poor light trying to stop the speculation on this thread or the dim view of this action that everyone except takemehomegrandma holds is an exercise worthy of Canute - besides it has even less point than Canute ;-) |
