Re: UKNM: Linking to sites

[James Downes]

Chris,


There was definitely a court case a couple of years ago in the US (where

else) where I think it was Warner Bros successfully sued another site

for "deep linking" to their site. By deep linking they meant that the

site avoided Warners home page and linked directly to the content,

thereby avoiding all of those banner ads etc that would have been seen

if the visitor had used Warners navigation route.


Having said that many sites don't seem to care, or actively encourage

it,  for example Amazon.com's Affiliate program.
