We believe that in principle there should be no liability without knowledge. We also note that the targets of hyperlinks can change (for example by changes to DNS domain ownership) without the knowledge of the provider of the link; it therefore cannot be presumed that a link that now points to infringing material pointed to the same material at the time the link was created. We therefore consider that the author of hyperlink or editor of search tool should be protected from liability at least until given specific information that they are linking to material that might give rise to liability.
