Dutch Tax agency closes portals

Dutch Tax agency Fiod.EDC in cooperation with Stichting Brein yesterday closed down two portals and arrested 8 people of Shareconnector.com en Releases4U.com for providing links to illegal software. Here's why they think they're allowed to. After cases in the U.S where users of peer-to-peer services like Napster, eDonkey, Limewire and others where convicted for possession of illegal software, music and films and fined with huge sums, it seems the witch hunt is on in Holland too. Whatever happened to a free Internet and sharing I wonder? Is simply linking now illegal too? And what does that mean for blogs? Even Microsoft is heavily into blogging now....Seems to me we're all gonna convert to Open Source pretty soon. Ceo of Linspire today offered their services to the Dutch government.. it saves them 144 mil compared to the current Microsoft offer.
