Various actors take part in the expressive activities in the internet. For example, the work of access providers and host providers makes them possible. They can be sued for their help to the authors of illegal expression. The range of the providers' responsibility is not clear, however. This study has tried to solve this problem. I have referred to the German court decisions and articles, which developed the theories about the responsibility of providers in detail. I have studied especially the responsibility of host providers who enable authors to write their articles anonymously.
