This is the second or third time I've seen descriptions of such raids where cult (no, I'm not trying to be diplomatic) representatives were present and participating. Is this legal in Amsterdam? How about in the U.S.? Britain?
Probably. Amsterdam isn't exactly the wild west, and they didn't take the computer equipment with them, they just inventoried everything so to have something to sell when their claims prove valid. Which I doubt (shit, I will be moving to this country in a couple of weeks...)
The good news is xs4all were prepared for them and have mounted a publicity campaign against co$. co$ has withdrawn their complaint (though xs4all have not be _officially notified yet) in an attempt to patch up things but it's too late for co$ to save them from the wrath. xs4all has a lot of support in all facets of .nl life so co$ is going to have a bad time screwing with them. From what I learnt there will be a lot of noise RSN in the press. My personal view is co$ deserves all the flak they get. Mark mark@lochard.com.au The above opinions are rumoured to be mine.
