Domain Registrar Can be Held Liable for Pirate Site, Court Rules - TorrentFreak [torrentfreak.com]

The Higher Regional Court of Saarbrücken has confirmed that domain registrars can be held liable for the infringements of pirate sites. Even a single link can require a registrar to take a domain offline. The case in question was filed by Universal Music over Robin Thicke's album Blurred Lines. It relates to a defunct torrent site, but a similar order has hit The Pirate Bay as well.
