Oh, while we're at it: you're apparently selling stuff over your web site at http://www.dalibox.de, as can be seen on http://daliman3.dalibox.de/index.php? page=shop.product_details&flypage=&product_id=17&category_id=2&optio n=com_virtuemart&Itemid=28 However, I can't seem to find any detailed information regarding who is actually running this web site. [...]
"whois dalibox.de" appears to provide that information.
Yes, but at least in Germany a commercial web site must itself contain a section that identifies exactly who is behind it, and a link to that section must be prominently placed and available from every page of the site.
I didn't make this up myself - it's the law. I just wanted to inform him about that, in case he didn't know. These "reminders" can be very nasty and expensive.
It's especially strange since he won't provide information about his alleged patent to an "anonymous poster" (meaning myself), but does himself hide behind a veil of obscurity...
I'm beginning to doubt that any such patent does in fact exist...

Actually, according to german laws and court decisions there is no "private" website. Whenever you put something up on a domain you own you are offering communication services according to a court decision, so even when you only post your holiday photos you are obliged to have a complete imprint.
