   @eff That's a big advantage compared to Germany where a well known court in Hamburg and police and attorneys judge a link to be "a distribution of the material the link points to" and to "accept the content as approved". No joke.

   Germany has became a minefield where the copyright mafia is allowed to control nearly everything.

     This week, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals made clear that linking does not constitute infringement, and kept in place an important test to determine under what circumstances entities can be held liable for displaying copyrighted content online. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/07/victory-embedded-links-photos-instagram-dont-infringe-photographers-copyrights
