Polish Law And Bloggers

Krystian is back in Poland at the moment so I can imagine he’s had a chance to catch up on all the latest changes over there.

His most recent blog post, however, is really quite worrying.

According to Krystian’s article any site, including blogs, that is hosted in Poland must be considered a publication and register formally.

I had to reread that a couple of times to get the full meaning.

Under Irish law you can be held responsible for what you write and publish, but nobody is going to demand that you formally register.

I can see it now, Twenty Major being granted a rating by the censor’s office…

  1. Paranoia !
    I read latest news about this registration thing and it seems that it’s not entirely legal as press law was set up a long time ago before the country was connected to web – that’s why every lawyer sees this as an act looking like a swiss cheese – there was never any amendment regarding e-press thing. I can assure you that if this is changed I will move from my current ISP (I have experience with Blacknight – especially Lancelot server). :]
