Linking Issues

Whether or not linking to any public webpage is legal is a burning issue in my mind, mainly because it seems such an easy safe harbor. Alas, it may not be.

Brad Templeton's thoughts on Linking Rights
- I agree with his contention that linking to legal material is always legal except when the site expressly forbids it, in which case it would still be legal to publish the web address without a link.

-linking to material you know or have reason to believe is illegal is not legal
