Acquittal of German Wikipedia

Posted by Zonk on from the encyclopedia-of-everything-keeps-keeping-on dept.

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."

    How is someone's real name not relevant to an article about that person? You can't change history just because you are ashamed of your son.
