Hi, quick question about the website, which is evolving quite fabulous.

The page is operated and sponsored by a German company Hanseatic Bits UG (haftungsbeschrรคnkt) & Co. KG .

I'm wondering: what the philosophy behind the project is? How is the funding taking place? What will happen to the crowd-sourced data and the joint effort? Don't get me wrong, but putting effort in a closed source database that belongs to a company, which then claims the copyright of said database (German Urheberrecht), is something I would like to discuss upfront.

I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that as soon as there is a anything on the website that could (even just in theory) help you make a single cent, it's considered commercial. Any ad banner, an affiliate link or in case of your author partner a link to their books on amazon or wherever is probably enough to be considered commercial. I honestly wouldn't take any risk there, especially as an author. 1 single hater is enough to cost you up to 5kโ‚ฌ.

Thanks. We got that covered. She already has an Impressum and you can hire an Impressum service. My blog however, with journey impressions and profanity, has no Impressum.
