But there is different understanding of who is a "service provider" in
various local jurisidictions.
>From what I know, in Germany everyone having a website (even a purely
private one) is considered a "service provider" and therefore must have the
mentioned information on their website. Maybe it can be applied to everyone
having a mail server (which is able to receive mail) as well.
In Poland, where I live, our Electronic Services Act ("Ustawa o świadczeniu
usług drogą elektroniczną"), which regulates this, clearly says that only an
entity which provides services electronically to customers as a part of
business activity (these services can be free for customers, but must
be a part of a business that generates revenue in other way - eg. via ads)
may be considered a "service provider" with regard to this regulation. This
seems much more reasonable for me than the German approach.
