The newest ruling in Australia relating to copyright infrigement states that linking from your blog to a copyrighted material makes you legally responsible. apparently if i put a link to a music video on my site, i can get sued by big name record labels who can't figure out how to make money now that the internet is out to get them.
I would love to put a link to where i found this information, but it might be copyrighted and i'll get into trouble!

Oh, its much better than that.
Every webpage - not website, webpage - on the Internet is implicitly copyrighted material.
Under the Cooper ruling, you have to get explicit permission to link to every blog or webpage.
And more, the Cooper ruling states that the ISP who provides you hosting is infringing. Your links are exposing Blogger and Yahoo to lawsuits from all over the Net.
Now, you may not have deep pockets, but they do.
