Lawsuits against Yahoo and AltaVista also are being prepared. Deutsche Bahn recently sent letters to all three U.S. search engine operators asking them to remove the hyperlinks to the online copies of two articles from the German-language left-wing extremist publication, Radikal, which has been outlawed in Germany. The articles detail how to cut power on parts of the railway system. "We wrote Google and told them that there is illegal content on their pages and that they are linking to pages with illegal content. They have not answered us, so we will file a lawsuit against Google in Germany tomorrow," said Christian Schreyer, head of the legal department for media and competition law at Deutsche Bahn in Berlin. - snip - http://www.infoworld.com/articles/hn/xml/02/04/16/020416hngoogle.xml ------ End of Forwarded Message For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
