    At some moment this could be a topic in Dutch Court. In the end a Dutch Court (Judge) may have to decide about it.
    Bits of Freedom has some questions about it.
    There is more to say about it, but I leave it to that.
    That having said, make no mistake: I am definitely no fan of those kind of sites.
