Germany threatens to fine and/or jail Carl Malamud for doing his usual thing
http://j.mp/1bXZSr4 (Boing Boing)
"One of the most important public safety laws in Europe is Dir.
2001/95/EC which regulates general product safety.
Public.Resource.Org, in our ongoing quest to make
legally-mandated public safety codes available, purchased the
German instantiation of 40 of these essential codes and made them
available on the Internet. Every country in the EU is required to
implement and publish these standards. "Imagine our surprise
when we were served notice to appear in Hamburg District Court in
Germany."
