Will registrars be held liable for crappy websites that have malware downloads? Will they be held liable for pages that are set up to look like Facebook or a bank to steal passwords? Why not? Why hold the responsible for actions that the content industry say harms THEM, but not extend that protection to the little guy? If a German citizen went to court and said “facebook.confirmyourpasswordhere.com stole my identity, and I want to sue GoDaddy” they’d laugh me out of court; because they know damn well that Godaddy had nothing to do with it. But the content industry comes calling and they’ll just do whatever it takes. Guess it’s more important to protect big content than the people.

Key-Systems is one of the worst spammers in Germany. 100 % of spam for private health insurance and credit spams comes from Key-Systems. It’s time someone shut that company down for good!

Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die

Yo, Ho haul together, hoist the colours high

Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die

The King and his men stole the queen from her bed

and bound her in her bones

The seas be ours and by the powers

Where we will…we’ll roam

Yo, Ho haul together, hoist the colours high

Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never say we die

Some men have died and some are alive

And others sail on the sea

With the keys to the cage

And the devil to pay

We lay to Fiddler’s Green!

Yo, Ho haul together, hoist the colours high

Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die

The bell has been raised from its watery grave

Do you hear its sepulchral tone?

A Call to all, pay heed to the squall

And turn your sail towards home!

Yo, Ho haul together, hoist the colours high

Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die

The court ruled that H33T's domain registrar, Key-Systems, could be made liable for the actions of H33T if they do not promptly deactivate H33T's domains when it is "obvious" that the website has engaged in copyright infringement.Domain registrars track the ownership of domain names, much like how phone companies track the ownership of phone numbers. Any one domain registrar may have thousands of domains that have been registered with the company, and they have no access or the ability to track content being hosted on these domain names.This latest ruling sets a new precedent and overturns previous rulings which found registrars not liable for acts carried out by third parties.Germany's music industry trade group, the BVMI, welcomed the ruling."For rights holders this offers a new protection option to take action against portals with illegal offers on the net, that hide their identities using front companies registered abroad," said the BVMI's Dr. Florian Drücke.Volker Greimann, lawyer for Key-Systems, said the ruling was dangerous and could dramatically affect the way domain registrars do business in Germany."This judgment makes no legal sense and is full of errors. If this judgment stands, it will have dire consequences for the kind of services German registrars can provide," Greimann told copyright news website TorrentFreak. […]
