Hyperlinking

Hyperlinking
http://www.chillingeffects.org/linking/faq.cgi#QID710

Question: Do I need permission to link to someone else's site?

Answer: In general, if someone is making a website publicly available, others may freely link to it. That open linking is what makes the web a "web."

In most cases, however, simple linking is unlikely to violate the law.

Question: Is "deep linking" illegal?

Answer: "Deep linking" refers to the creation of hyperlinks to a page other than a website's homepage. For example, instead of pointing a link at http://www.chillingeffects.org, this site's "homepage," another site might link directly to the linking FAQ at http://www.chillingeffects.org/linking/faq .

Further, hyperlinking does not itself involve a violation of the Copyright Act (whatever it may do for other claims) since no copying is involved. The customer is automatically transferred to the particular genuine web page of the original author. There is no deception in what is happening. This is analogous to using a library's card index to get reference to particular items, albeit faster and more efficiently.

So far, courts have found that deep links to web pages were neither a copyright infringement nor a trespass.

As a knowledge-based economy emerges, economic and social value is created not just by what we know but by whether we apply our knowledge creatively. This report argues that creativity can be learned, and presents pioneering examples from education, community and business of how this can be done. The authors offer a radically different vision of education, which would position learners in diverse settings and require them to draw on their skills in practical and innovative ways. It proposes a ten-year programme of reform to ensure that learners can thrive in the knowledge economy.
