> "AnonThe District Court in Frankfurt /Main decided yesterday (Az.: 5/6 Qs 
> 47/03)
> that the enforcement of the judicial instruction by the Lower District 
> Court in
> Frankfurt to the partners of the AN.ON project given some weeks ago on request
> of the German Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigation is to be suspended.

> According to this instruction, AN.ON, the mutual project of the Independent
> Centre for Privacy Protection Schleswig-Holstein (ICPP) and the TU Dresden for
> surfing the web anonymously, had to record the access to a particular IP
> address.The project partners have disabled the recording function they
> implemented according to the first court decision immediately after they were
