"Links" and Copyright Infringement

The District Court in California ruled on a motion for preliminary injunction that the creation and display of thumbnail images of copyrighted works is likely to constitute copyright infringement and is not fair use. Perfect 10 v. Google, Inc., (C.D. Cal., 2/17/06).
Offering links to infringing images on third-party sites, however, is not copyright infringement.
