Only a few website realistically need to worry about these changes in legislation. Only really large website need worry about this. Their are only a couple of orginsation that would bother to sue over this, and I doubt they woudl sue my little websites.
Anne-Laure Dupuis service isn\\\’t really fraud, it is ligimate and coul dwell be useful (by the way both of her websites don\\\’t compile). However it is attempting to scare people so that they pay for her service, quite underhand. in my opinion.
Just to complete your day how about some groovy sites I found on my travels. He\\\’s a shamless plug for a company that we work with coffee vending machines. Here is a selection of the worst short stories you have ever seen, they don\\\’t promise to be anything else, but can be quite amusing.
And it goodbye from me and goodbye from er me.
