hyperlinking to web pages that infringe copyright is an offence
But if you see Europe it is more restrictive. Is taking photographs of artworks, paintings and iconic buildings covered under copyright infringement? Recently read an article by Emma Woollacott "Playboy Hyperlink Victory Affects Non-Profit Websites Too" in which she has highlighted the Europe's high court decision on a case brought by Playboy against a Dutch news website, GeenStijl, that hyperlinking to web pages that infringe copyright is an offence. Both profit making and non-profit making websites, must double check their links, so that law doesn't get breached out.
