Bad day for web 2.0
Fuzz.fr, a community digg like french website was being investigated those latest days for a legal fault concerning an image prejudice against Olivier Martinez, an actor whose private life had been blogged around and around by many bloggers, independantly from Fuzz Itself.On March 27th 2008, Fuzz's webmaster ad fuzz itself were finally condemned to 1000 € for justice fees and 1500 € for prejudice for image prejudice of the actor. Despite a great buzzing effect from many web actirs from within french websphere, Lyon's court of justice had sentanced this website. This suing without precedent represents a really bad new for community websites, yes, can we say that web 2.0 is suluble in courts and justice ?? Why, and how can a RSS news site be condemned for the responsibility of publishing what its users say inside their own websites ? Yes, Fuzz.fr dif only print on its pages the RSS fluxes of its users only, and the 'offending' bulletin was not even written by Dupin, but only by one of its users. So yes, Lyon's court did condemn Fuzz in terms of a moral person, a company, declaring its versy responsability in the affair, but, did it condemn the website authoring news offending the actor ?? Nothing is said in this part of the affair. But one has to keep in mind that Fuzz was not the only one to be pursued then, some 20 sites around are also charged for the same reason.  So... then, to Fuzz, or not to fuzz. In any case, now this first trail is over, Fuzz.fr is still out of line, waiting to know wether E. Dupin goes in appeal or not.Weblinks :        |
