Yahoo! loses! Nazi! lawsuit!

Free speech darlings or corporate chicken hawks? I suppose that the question their legal analysis addresses was really: There are cheese eating surrender monkeys, and there are brutal and oppressive totalitarian dictorships - which one do we want to openly defy?

On the other hand, who knows? Maybe the Chinese were the biggest customers for the memorabilia in question... it would make sense in a twisted sort of way.

Yahoo! has lost a lawsuit in which it claimed a French court violated its right to sell Nazi trinkets.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
