Reference: refs Reference information: I understand it, the term "informatiemaatschappij" never refers to a company in the BW texts, but to the society aspect. So when JurLex translates it as: informatiemaatschappij = information society As do FELOnline, and the Warendorf translation of the BW (which I also own), they are referring to the larger phrase: "dienst van de informatiemaatschappij" or "diensten van de informatiemaatschappij" Which is defined as: "elke dienst die gewoonlijk tegen vergoeding, langs elektronische weg op afstand en op individueel verzoek van een afnemer van de dienst verricht wordt" (http://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/cgi_loi/change_lg.pl?langua... see also: "4.3.1 Dienst van de informatiemaatschappij De definitie van ‘dienst van de informatiemaatschappij’ is te vinden in artikel 3:15d lid 3 BW: “elke dienst die gewoonlijk tegen vergoeding, langs elektronische weg, op afstand en op individueel verzoek van de afnemer van de dienst wordt verricht zonder dat partijen gelijktijdig op dezelfde plaats aanwezig zijn”. Overweging 18 van de e-Commercerichtlijn maakt duidelijk dat ook activiteiten waarvoor afnemers niet betalen maar die wel een economische activiteit vormen (zoals online reclame) onder de definitie vallen.10" (http://www.debrauw.com/wp-content/uploads/NEWS - PUBLICATION... = "Information society service Resource type: Glossary item Status: Maintained Jurisdiction: United Kingdom Any service normally provided for remuneration, at a distance, by means of electronic equipment for the processing (including digital compression) and storage of data, and at the individual request of a recipient of a service."
