That was the point :) Eric (in my understanding) was implying that being a US-based company doesn't imply having to consider foreign (in this case german) laws. For internet services, almost anybody is able to access you service. But registering a domaine in CC TLDs and having it configured such a way that you get access to the service looks like an explicit move towards wanting this country's users to use your service. And as such, you should abide by their laws. (and I believe MS has some offices in Germany, too) (as a not so good example, Google had to use the "googlemail" name for their Gmail service, for german users, due to some trademark dispute) -- Dominique Rousseau Neuronnexion, Prestataire Internet & Intranet 21 rue Frédéric Petit - 80000 Amiens tel: 03 22 71 61 90 - fax: 03 22 71 61 99 - http://www.neuronnexion.coop _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
