INDYMEDIA NETHERLANDS APPEAL

Millennium Leia | 17.10.2002 20:15

German railway network Deutsche Bahn brought an action against Indymedia Netherlands for not removing
indirect links to two internet pages. The links led to
several mirror sites of the German periodical Radikal,
containing two-pages which the original host in the
Netherlands was forced to take offline because it gave
tips on how to obstruct trains carrying nuclear waste.
Other sites such as the search engine google removed
the links (and specific indirect links) when requested.

The judge's decision that all links that lead
"directly or indirectly" to these two pages should be
removed prove either a complete misuderstanding of the way the web works or a specific desire to target
Indymedia. Indymedia Netherlands was fined and the
links have now been removed, however they plan to
appeal against the decision but they needs funds. Send MONEY to Indymedia NL for its appeal to preserve the democratic right to publish indirect links and to document content. Indymedia Netherlands has a new bank account - and we are still looking for financial contributions to appeal in the Hyperlink case
