Here's an English-language report on Xs4all's initial suit against AbFab: http://www.xs4all.nl/uk/news/overview/abfab.html --- Date: Thu, 07 Mar 2002 19:47:15 +0100 From: chefren <chefrenat_private> To: declanat_private Subject: Xs4all wins Spam case Hello Declan, Xs4all just won a case against AbFab about spam. The interesting thing is that the judge said that because Xs4all prohibits their own customers to =send= e-mail it doesn't have to route that kind of traffic to it's customers. AbFab may not send any spam to customers with e-mail adresses ending in "xs4all", if it does it has to pay 50 euro for each case and 2.500.000 euro max. The verdict is published on the official site: http://www.rechtspraak.nl/uitspraak/frameset.asp?ui_id=31892 (Unfortunately all Dutch...) +++chefren -- http://www.e-knip.nl/ Chefren Hagens ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
