[hackerspaces] RE : Re: Hackerspace legal formation and insurance

[Georges Kesseler]

Why not hack-your-own-insurance?
All hackerspaces in the world contribute to a fund which can then be
used if one hackerspace has a problem.
Yes I know, who manages that? etc...
On the other hand, there has been some solidarity after a space got
raided without reason. And there is for sure no assurance against losses
due to a police raid.
