aus: Date: Sat, 7 Apr 2001 10:37:30 -0400 From: sebastian@rolux.org To: nettime-l@bbs.thing.net Subject: <nettime> German Minister of the Interior announces DoS attacks against U.S. Websites Reply-To: sebastian@rolux.org Interviewed by the Washington Post on December 21, 2000, Schily had already lined out that defending Germany's Internet infrastructure would not exclude certain aggressive tactics, even if he was aware that most of the criminalized sites were located in the U.S. and protected by the First Amendment. Just one week before, the German Bundesgerichtshof (then dealing with a nazi website located in Australia) had ruled that German authorities have the full rights to legally prosecute anti-semitic and revisionist propaganda, even if published in a foreign country. In a reaction to the court's ruling, John Russel, former speaker of the Justice Department, had made clear that the United States would reject such absurd accusations of offences against German law commited on U.S. territory. Back then, Otto Schily commented that his means of enforcement were not limited to the "official procedures" and that he could imagine spams or DoS-attacks. imagine spams or DoS-attacks imagine spams or DoS-attacks imagine spams or DoS-attacks imagine spams or DoS-attacks imagine spams or DoS-attacks ---------------------------------------------------------- # rohrpost -- deutschsprachige Mailingliste fuer Medien- und Netzkultur # Info: majordomo@mikrolisten.de; msg: info rohrpost # kommerzielle Verwertung nur mit Erlaubnis der AutorInnen # Entsubskribieren: majordomo@mikrolisten.de, msg: unsubscribe rohrpost # Kontakt: owner-rohrpost@mikrolisten.de -- http://www.mikro.org/rohrpost
