  on EFF Tells Court That Boing Boing Linking To Playboy Images Is Not Infringement
  Boing Boing all on it's own is capable of producing that response. Their content ranges from the truly informative and interesting to the completely inane.

  Copyright law according to the MPAA/RIAA? What you get there is what they would like copyright law to be. That's like looking at gun law according to the NRA, or laws regulating natural dietary supplements according to the pharmaceutical industry.

  Technically, even with the image linked from the BoingBoing page it is the offending IMGUR site that is presenting the offending copyright material. The internet can be a tricky thing for attorneys who do not have a minimalist understanding of technology. That is why most firms who prosecute technology claims require the legal team to either have the appropriate technical training or hire a consultant who does.
  
  Though they could be liable for contributory infringement, there is a lot of room in the legal history to argue that BoingBoing is not actually at fault.
