President Kwasniewski told to apologize for quoting writer without permission

A court has ruled that President Aleksander Kwasniewski has to apologize on behalf of his 1995 presidential-campaign team to the children of the late writer Jan Sztaudynger, for quoting his work in the campaign without the estate's permission. The court has ruled President Kwasniewski is responsible for his campaign-team's actions. This is the first case of this type in Poland in which an acting President has lost a civil case. However, the judgment is not yet binding and President Kwasniewski has not decided whether he is going to appeal or not. (Rzeczpospolita, Page C1) A.D.
