Heise [Newsticker] Heise: Counterstatement on "c't repels 'Licence-Extortion'
The lawyer Freiherr von Gravenreuth lays claim on a counterstatement on the message of heise online released on 07/07/2000. With this he refers on that Heise releases with this article the following allegation:

"With comparable cases Gravenreuth succeeded to pocket long royalties, ...."

With his counterstatement von Gravenreuth stated that this allegation was incorrect, correct was that he would not have recieved any licence payments in conjunction with the Trademark "Explorer".

Heise on this:
«The liability to release a counterstatment exists regardless if its content is true or not. The editorial office does not mix the term "to pocket" with any allegation on were the payments remained, the more so as cashiers mostly do not recieve sums in person.²

I only can agree with Heise, because of course Freiherr von Gravenreuth did not collect the royalties in person but his manner to "make cash" consists of neat little fee-notes to the licensors whose cases he is pleading, and to the "royalty-violators" he warns or accuses.

The various forum articles at Heise are interesting.
