Don't link that link

10 Dec 2006

Linking illegal (via Lost Remote)?

If the link is to material that violates someone else's copyright, it seems you're in a gray area.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation's Fred von Lohmann notes there is a great incentive for sites to remove the links instead of trying to fight the battle.

These leaves a lot of room for lawyers in a Web 2.0 world where content (or data) is coming from many sources.
