Dutch Court Orders Lycos To Reveal Client's Identity

A Dutch high court has ordered the Lycos wrongly withheld the identity of one of its users who allegedly anonymously posted a defamatory message about an internet-based stamp dealer. According tho the article on Yahoo! News, this is the first time that such an order has been made by a Dutch court in connection with a civil matter, which probably has repurcussions for future suits related to alleged copyright violations.
