Hallo SWINOGer

I hope, you’re enjoying already the holidays somewhere around.

We’re having here a little difficulties with a german lawyer. We’re offering shared hosting services. One of our customers is sharing links to uploaded.net, which contains music, which might be copyright protected.

The german law agency is now requesting the data of the owner which – apparently – we cannot provide due to restrictions of the data protection law of Switzerland. They’re supplying us this judgement: http://www.justiz.nrw.de/nrwe/olgs/koeln/j2011/6_U_87_10urteil20110325.html .

Question to the community:

1. What are you doing in such situations? (Yes, appart from contact your lawyer ;-) ).

2. Did you have similar issues and how did you handle them?

I wish you merry Christmas and a happy new year.

kind regards

Pascal Wagenhofer
