NL the world capital of usenet? That NL?
That NL, we also have quite a few banned domains here. Basically copyright organisations like Brein will sue everyone they can get away with. Unfortunately they have been succesfull on multiple occasions, mostly because the other party won't show up in court and they win by default. Another thing they do is sue one of the large ISP's for facilitating copyright infringement to get them to block sites like torrent sites. If the judge rules in their favor, then all Dutch ISP's have to abide by the ruling.
How do you dont have rights when you dont show up?
If you don't show up to defend yourself in court, then the other side gets to tell their story, and the judge has no choice but to find for them, since the defendant didn't defend themselves.
No choice absolutely or in a practical sense?
No, that's reality, it's called a "Default Judgement." If one party doesn't show up in court, the other side automatically wins.
I guess the same way as with the Anna's archive vs Spotify case in the US last week?
