The regional court in Hamburg ruled, on May 12th, 1998 – decree 312 0 85/98 – "liability for links", that whoever puts a link on their website, may be held responsible for its content. This can only be averted by distancing oneself explicitly from its content.
"We hereby distance ourselves explicitly from the contents of all links on this website. Any opinions expressed in any link are not necessarily ours. This declaration applies to all links on this website." |
