More Linking Madness

A court in Texas has ruled against a case of deep linking. This goes against most established precedence; the only really comparable case was one in England in the last century, where a judge used a cable TV law to go after the site in question.

I was hassled by some idiot a while back over my linking to a post on his website about the poor little harassed IRA, and how they had nothing to do with that bank robbery. His angle was that deep linking is copyright violation. I'm glad I don't live in Texas...
