Dutch Portal Cleared of Copyright Infringement

Posted by michael on from the those-crazy-dutch dept.

CRCates writes "A Dutch court in Haarlem has cleared Techno Design, the operator of Zoekmp3.nl, a music search engine portal, of copyright infringement. The case was launched by BREIN, the Dutch entertainment industry's anti-piracy group. The court ruled that providing links to an MP3 file does not constitute disclosure or publication of contents under Dutch copyright law."

    From article:

    "so simple even a frog could implement it."

    Why must article discrimenate againt the French ? We are good people. Too much now in the US is anti-French feelings, like "freedom fries". We helped US defeat Hitler, and France is a leads computer industry.

    I hate to break this to you, but there are nicer parts of NY to visit than Harlem. Unless you want to meet Bubba, or you're doing a study of the fine art of tagging.

  5. voice/data by jaredcat · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I strongly recommend that you install a modern PBX as the centralized telephone system and then contract with an IXC (like Qwest, Global Crossing, MCI, or a European equivelent) for all of your voice and data needs. A 30-house complex is equivelent to a medium-sized office in terms of data/voice requirements. Representing a group of that size will allow you get significant volume discounts. For instance, if you can gaurantee 150,000 minutes per month in voice traffic and agree to 2 years of so many megabits of data traffic, you are on much better footing than all 30 residents shopping around for their own deals-- especially if you have special needs like good voice rates to a particular destination (i.e. foreign country).

    This is one of the things that I do professionally, so if you would like any help, feel free to send me an email.
