Copyright Anonymous Coward writes "German news source Telepolis reports that the the Donkeymania.com page is the newest victim in the ongoing legal battles against P2P networks in Spain. A judge in Madrid has ordered the site DonkeyMania.com to be shut down by Tuesday, the 5th of August 2003. The site does not contain any downloadable files itself, only links to peer-to-peer file sharing networks. 

Javier Maestre, the lawyer for the defense, said: "...It's the first time in Spain that the closing of a web page has been ordered based on the links it contains." El Mundo has a report in Spain, Links & Law in English."

    "Distributing clue to judges" might be an useful book. Someone should write it.

    Skip the book, just whack them with The Clue Stick.

    Kind of reminds me of (I think it was) a Dilbert comic. The boss says to the employee, "I think this Internet thing is *really* gonna take off."

    There's not a lot you can say to those people...

    But no matter what you say, it is doubtful that they will understand ;)
