Some PSINet operations will move from Germany; US company's decision is prompted by ruling on Internet pornography
Article Abstract:
PSINet Inc., based in Herndon, VA, said it would relocate a portion of its Internet business out of Germany. The moves follows a disputed May 1998 ruling issued by a Bavarian court on pornography. While stating that it will pursue its business activities in Germany, PSINet said it will move some other services to other business cites in Europe. Hermut Blank, managing director of the firm, which keeps and displays Web pages for home and corporate customers, said it has to transfer to places where international laws are enforced.
