Slashdot Mirror
Acquittal of German Wikipedia
Rock-n-Rolf writes "In a previous story Slashdot reported that the German Wikipedia was threatened with injunction. The court has now ruled, as reported in German magazine Spiegel, and Wikipedia is likely to remain online (Babelfish translation). The dispute was about Wikipedia publishing the real name of a dead hacker in an article, and the parents objected to this."
You know you're right and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter!
The truth hurts sometimes... so in those cases, we should just not mention the truth.

Perhaps our helpfull Government could do something to protect us from this thing called "truth" and the nefarious rise of factual information dissemination that has been causing everyone so much grief since the adoption of this here intarweb thingy.
If you were writing an encyclopedia article about me, that would be relevant information. It would be your obligation to include it.
And plus if I'm dead and you write it, I'm really not going to be offended. Because, you know, I'm DEAD.
My other car is first.
