This probably won't make it to newspapers worldwide, so I post a Google translate of the Dutch article.


Ziggo ISP XS4ALL and is supported by UPC in the fight against Brain collecting society. "Ziggo is not responsible for a website not hosted by Ziggo", claiming that.

Brain wants Ziggo through the courts to force internet site The Pirate Bay inaccessible to its customers. The other networks in the Netherlands anxiously guard to this lawsuit.

"The law is absolutely nowhere that Ziggo responsible for a website not hosted by Ziggo" said a spokesman at XS4ALL Wired World. "There is no reason to talk to them there."

Article 196c of the Civil Code does indeed state that ISPs are not liable for the information they transmit. "If you saw it on again, then Internet service providers continually called to cases of libel and slander offline. The intermediary is not responsible for that sort of thing."

"We also believe that we only provide access to the web, and not responsible for the contents. We find overigens naast open web access is also important that copyright properly regulated", says UPC in a comment.
