Yahoo in court over Nazi auctions Country Watch: France7/24/2000; 1:47:01 PM 'A ruling last month gave Yahoo's French site until 24 June to make it impossible for people in France to gain access to the auctions - describing them as an "offence to the collective memory" of French people.'Yahoo's French language site, fr.yahoo.com, has already blocked access to the pages auctioning Nazi memorabilia. 'But surfers can browse the same pages, which routinely offer hundreds of real or imitation Nazi artefacts every day, on the global site yahoo.com. 'If the High Court rules against Yahoo, it will make material in a foreign language and not specifically aimed at the French population actionable under French law just because it is possible to access that material in France.'Making French lawyers very rich.
