The State Court of Hamburg [the jurisdiction in which hetchins.org is registered], in a landmark miscarriage dated 12 May 1998, decreed that one can be held liable for the content of other web sites to which one's own web site is linked. The Editor categorically rejects this. If an author has footnotes or a bibliography in his book, no court of law holds him liable for the contents of the other books. The Editor is not responsible for the contents of other web sites.
