I'm still a little bit confused how this will impact Wikipedia, though. The law seems to be clear in identifying the website owner as the person to contact; which is a US not-for-profit. Don't get me wrong; despite my moaning I do support thie it.wiki community in opposing this (whether or not it affects them) just as helped I oppose all the idiotic French internet laws that came through some time ago. Indeed I just finished drafting a letter to the IT Consulate here, plus one for my MP & something for the various media contacts I have. However, you know, I still register my discomfort with actually "closing" it.wiki in protest :S And I would still be interested to hear actual analysis how this might affect editors directly (because if it does; then this leaves interesting questions like - what about Facebook? Forum posts? Emails? Blog comments? etc.) Tom _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
