European Court Ruling Could Help End Absurd German Net Laws

Germany has some stiff legislation about obligatory contact information on websites. Actually, so complicated, that an army of lawyers is making a living of serving costly legal notes to website owners who do not follow the letter of the sometimes complex legal word.

Actually, these conditions have deterred a good number of private wouldbe website owners from going public, deterred by possible high costs.

Now, jurisdiction on its way from the European court of justice could be about to change all that Kafkaesque German theatre for the better.
