Interruptus II: The king of the fried chicken

I have just finding out that our "celebrated" Ramoncín, champion and paladin of the $GAE, has just obtained a condemnatory judgment against Alasbarricadas.org. Let's hope that it is only the first assault, as it appears in Microsiervos, Caspa.tv, David Bravo and the proper Alasbarricadas.org. Because the question is serious: the owner of the web is condemned by a post who wrote another person with a few commentaries about Ramoncín. The judgment is based that the contents of the post were illicit and they were not withdrawn at the moment by the owner of the web. But to determine that a few contents are illicit, it is necessary that a judge passes it. How are they going to withdraw then a few contents if still it has not been decided on its legality?

I say that the question is serious because it is another stone thrown on the pressure for controlling the Internet contents. According to this judgment, they can close a media (in this case a web page) for what there has written a foreign person. If this judgment is kept, it can take us to that the owners of every web will have now to control and censure everything that is published in Internet (blogs, forums, etc.) to prevent them from being denounced. Though thinking cautiously, this might be useful, since according to the same reasoning they should denounce any radio station, for example, for the commentaries spilt during the emission by listeners when there is possibility of intervening through telephonic calls. Probably we should start calling some radio programmes and to insult someone (Ramoncín?) in order that they demand them, shouldn't?

Another sample of the lack of judicial independence.
