Julf

Johan Helsingius (Julf) has been ordered to release the identity of the poster of one of the Scamizdat series of confidential materials. "The Court of Appeals of Helsinki (Helsingin hovioikeus) has upheld the decision of the local court of Helsinki, in which Johan 'Julf' Helsingius was ordered to reveal the user id of the person who used the anon.penet.fi server to repost parts of Scamizdat, a collection of secret Scientology scriptures. "In its decision dated 4th of June 1997, the Court of Appeals orders Helsingius to reveal the names in 30 days after the decision becomes final. If he doesn't try to appeal the decision it will mean that he has to reveal the user id within three months. He might appeal the decision to the Supreme Court within 60 days, in which case the whole thing will take longer, regardless of whether the Supreme Court chooses to consider the case or not. "The following ID's were used to send material through anon.penet.fi: an498608@anon.penet.fi, an545430@anon.penet.fi "The material was a repost of Scamizdat #11, in several parts. The original repost was done on 15.2.1996, and partly repeated 12.3.1996." Message-ID: <5n7g0v$h75@reimari.uwasa.fi>
