Deep Linking Questions.


Copyright Issues

I understand that deep linking is not permitted on GL without gaining permission. However is it OK to link to your own posts?  I think that as the copyright holder I would have that right.

  Following on from that question is it alright to link to anonymous posts?  There being no-one to grant permission.

Once again IANAL.  But I can't for the life of me think how a sane judge could find a deep link a viotation of anything, especially for an open site which does not force a login.  Of course that presumes a sane judge.

That said and so, the only real impact PJ's stated prohibition would have is to prevent an outside of GL index to GL being used to reference GL.  The copyright notice is probably adequately blocks an index in and of itself, but there's no way to enforce it if it isn't used.  Her prohibition is a warning shot that she will take legal action against such an outside index which is used to reference GL material.

Possibly a certain amount of paranoia at work there, as those who discussed the possibility of an outside index recognised immadiately that the license change made it unlawful, and NOBODY I know or have heard of had any plan or intent to carry through such without her approval anyway.

I think somebody cited a PJ comment somewhere that PJ said as much herself - that the prohibition was only there to prevent an external index, not to keep people from posting a link to a particular comment or thread for discussion.

Tickets.com case against Ticketmaster (4.00 / 4) (#3)

The only reference I can find is a ruling for tickets.com when ticketmaster attempted to prevent them from deep-linking.  This case was in 2000 I believe, so I am not certain if other cases have set new precendents.

Here is a wired article on it:

IANAL, may have no idea what the heck I am talking about, yadda yadda yadda.

Bye bye spambot (none / 1) (#7)

This used to be a spambot post that is flooding the site. Due to volume, I had to resort to this while I work to block access by these bots. My apologies - thanks for your patience.
