Quite recently, CoS raided my provider XS4ALL, because one of their
users (Fonss) had the Fishman Affidavit on his homepage. Although
XS4ALL did not urge him to, Fonss did in fact remove the article
(well, what would you do if the CoS was after you?)
	Because XS4ALL refuses all responsability for their users' homepages,
the CoS is currently sueing them. Almost immediately after the raid,
another XS4ALL-user put the Affidavit on his homepage. The CoS are
threatening to sue him too; so Johanw removed the document as well.

As far as Holland is concerned, I definitely do not want this to be a
fight between CoS and XS4ALL only. There is more at stake than just
this one provider, no matter how much I appreciate their policy. The
CoS is not waging a war against a particular provider, but against
general freedoms. So, in order to clear this issue, I got myself an
account at Hollands biggest commercial Internet-provider, Planet
Internet, just to put the Fishman Document there and see what would
happen.
	Planet Internet has much more money (they are half owned by the Dutch
Postal Services) and a huge reservoir of lawyers. I sincerely hope
that CoS will treat these two providers with equally bad manners and I
have a hunch that Planet Internet will react the same way as XS4ALL
has done.


So, to sum it up, the Fishman Affidavit is now available at:
