Subject:RE: Permission for linking to Web sites From:Marguerite Krupp <mkrupp -at- cisco -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 13 Aug 2002 15:23:59 -0400
True enough, Evan. But I have seen some sites that ask you to let them know
if you're linking to their site.
I recently saw an article in the NY Tiimes about a lawsuit in which some
major website (like cnn.com or one of those - don't hold me to that link)
sought to prohibit "deep linking," the practice of linking to a page other
than the home page of a site, thus bypassing the popup ads and going
directly to content.
I don't recall the outcome, but I found the concept interesting. It's a good
argument for putting your identifying info, copyright statement, etc. on
every page.
