This item, a couple of weeks old, is now being circulated in e-learning newsletters. Beware, warns the article, of controversies that may affect whether you can 'deep link' to external resources. Piffle. The Dallas Morning News and Runner's World cases are even older than this article and amounted to nothing. The most recent instances of the deep linking debate centre around the National Public Radio's acceptable use policy prohibiting deep linking (now being revised after a storm of protest) and a Danish court case currently being heard. Not one judgement has ever prohibited deep linking. And its not going to happen: to prohibit deep linking is to to put sites like Google and Yahoo off the internet. So, this story notwithstanding, don't worry about it.
