Because hobbies cost money? It's not their day job, they're just looking to maybe pay for their hosting and a little more, generally.

- manmal 10y agoIf you can prove that you only took as much money as required for hosting (and donated the rest), a court might be fine with that.
- soufron 10y agoExactly.
- function_seven 10y agoIt's irrelevant what you plan to spend the revenue on. My hobbies cost money as well, but I don't subsidize them with ads. I pay for them with my own money. If you want to run a blog as a hobby, great. Spend your own money to buy hosting and be done with it. If you want to generate revenue off your hobby, that's fine as well, but know that it's not purely a "hobby" anymore. Even if the amounts are small or you're not profitable, it doesn't matter. EDIT: Sibling comment may be more accurate. If you show non-profitness, (I'm speaking abstractly, not in relation to linked court decision), that would be enough to sever the link between the otherwise infringing links and your revenue.
