I'm not sure if that is correct. I'm not a lawyer or anything but AFAIK
there are European laws that safeguard privacy ... and
Non-Disclosure-Agreements are also made in Europe.
The 2001 sets is private information of TLC and their partners. If you
publish (private) information other laws apply than when talking face to
face, and information requestable at any given time via the Internet is
AFAIK concidered publishing. That is why Todd (CMIAW) was asked to remove
the postings that published the information itself but you are still allowed
to 'speculate' about the sets, see:
http://news.lugnet.com/lego/direct/?n=512 as long as it doesn't contain
setnumbers, setnames etc. Or am I missing something, Todd?
So even as European, I can perfectly understand why Todd was requested to
cancel the posts, and since it's company information I can imagine that they
let their legal department deal with it, because if they don't - the next
time it will be harder when , perhaps even more secret/private, info is
leaked...
