[meteorite-list] Pellisson, the end of a free meteorite hobby?

Let us explain the French problem with B. Fectay/C. Bidaut

Bruno Fectay and Carine Bidaut have sued us in March 2004 for libel. It is
"only" a civil action between B. Fectay/C. Bidaut and us to claim for
damages.
Now we are also claiming for damages against them.

It will take several months to the justice before to return a verdict.
As you can imagine, nothing is illegally done in front of the court :
private emails are not admissible.
And "nobody" can be summoned to appear in a civil action.

All the remarks and all the publicity which have been given to this affair
are the consequences of this civil action.

Regarding our web page on NWA meteorites, the French court decided in our
favor:
"Il ne peut ?tre contest? que le d?bat sur les lieux de d?couvertes des
m?t?orites est l?gitime et pr?sente un int?r?t scientifique. La m?me
l?gitimit? doit ?tre reconnue pour les discussions sur le transport et les
op?rations commerciales relatives ? ces m?t?orites"

We hope that everybody can return to his passion. And we wish that those
interested by the subject will wait for the official decision.
And if Bruno Fectay has something to express why does he needs to write
through N. Classen and not with his own email ?


For those who want to know more about us and our work on Saharan
strewnfields, you can browse our web pages:

And our 2003 expedition on Mauritanian craters:

Best regards,
Richard and Roland Pelisson
