    yeah, but how would you like an illegal site like a cp site linking to YOUR site? i know i wouldn't! i'd appreciate legal protection in this area although i can see vast complications. and you never know - this could be overturned...

    i don't see the average website owner complaining about extra traffic but where i see potential issues is blog owners linking to companies when complaining about those companies.

    Um...

    "had been providing direct links to the live audiocasts of motorcycle racing events."

    "Anyone who clicked on the link from Davis' site, however, would not see the logos of companies that paid to be sponsors"


    How I read this is More of a PLUS in that Hot linking can become the grounds of a Law Suit.

    In a nutshell - He is stealing bandwidth by posting a link directly to the .mp3 that bypasses the website or any indicator of the website altogether and launches a media player in it's place.

    It ends up looking like a feature of company A rather than of the copyright owner; company B

    where i see potential issues is blog owners linking to companies when complaining about those companies.
    Review sites too?
