EU comes up with ruling on picture linking

The EU courts have come up with a somewhat confusing ruling on picture linking.

The European Union’s top court decided that Playboy was within its rights to stop a website from posting links to images published without permission.

It ruled that such linking infringes copyright when the website doing it is seeking to profit from pictures published without permission. So in other words it is ok to publish pictures without permission, but your site must not be making any money from it.
