The Hamburg Courts are notorious for their bad judgments regarding the Internet. That's why content providers like to file lawsuits there, but because of that, the rulings are often overturned in the next instance.

The regional court were the ones according to which the operator of a commercially operated website is liable for copyright infringing content that he links to, even without knowledge.

The local court is even worse regarding copyright infringement.

It's sad that your comment isn't higher up. General consensus in multiple German forums is that this judgment won't last and will be indeed just another Hamburger Landgericht misjudgment. Well, let's hope and see.
