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 952 of 1057 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 09-Apr-2004 14:04 GMT | In reply to Comment 938 (hooligan/dcs): Come on Decanini.. you know as well as I do that mr.Kemp seeked sympathy for himself and trouble for Genesi by making that MOTD.
First, it's YOUR opinion.
Second, have you considered that Christian was right to inform the readership of this forum of any action wich might directly or indirectly lead to its closure?
As for the "seeking trouble for Genesi" line, a company which stops paying employees despite being contracted to do so, and claims it's just normal business practice deserves no sympathy whatsoever. They have caused their own trouble by betraying those people they sought to get on-side to improve their publicity, PR etc.
If we're not going to give Amiga Inc any slack for acting like unprincipled a**holes, why should Genesi get any when they behave in the same manner?
"But it damages Genesi's image".
Tough! They should have thought of that before they started spending money that wasn't theirs. They should honour their contracts or stop trading. It's that simple, and the world SHOULD know when a company refuses to do so. |
