If you host your blog on a free host, where the host inserts ads to offset the cost of the free hosting - is that commercial use?



I'm not sure - the host would clearly be commercial use under German law - I don't know about the user. But for this law, it doesn't matter - it would become the host's responsibility to police the content of the user.


Yes, it's commercial use on the part of the host.
