still looking for english version of the case.

i found this link that talks about linking in EU:

this has alot of EU related linking legal issues:

The issue here is "inline linking" not deep-linking to an image, where the website that the image is pulled from, does not have legal rights for distribution of that image.

I am sure there are copyright infringement laws in EU that would speak to this, but requires litigation.

Fight the legal headaches!
