> In many (most?) parts of europe, there are literally things known as
> 'squatters rights'.   Berlin, for example, has many huge buildings which
> have been taken over by artists who just run the place.  I know several
> EU hackerspaces which are existing this way.
>
> The details of the laws vary, but in short, taking over an abandoned
> building, even if there is an owner, isn't the same as doing it in the
> US.  I'm sure someone here could provide more details.
