Subject: Legal Issue with Copyright Law
I don't like to mysite break any [i]Legal/Copyright Rules/Laws[/i], So.. a. Is it [b]LEGAL[/b]? b. Is it break the [b]Copyright Law[/b]? c. Is it a [b]country-Specific Law[/b]? 1. Writing a headline about one topic/Content, that is published to another site. 2. Whithout any Copied/Pasted material, Just mention it. 3. Just make a LINK to that content on that site. 4. Link is hidden behind a text that say "Refer to original site" or somthing similar. 5. And I publish these "Headline/Topic/Link" on my own site pages? I was read some note on[i] "CIW - Site Development Foundation"[/i] Book that was said: "You cannot provide a link from your Web Site to another site without permission because such a link generally implies that two sites have a business relationship." So these qusetion arise: 1. What a bout [i]Search Engine / Portal Sites[/i] Like Yahoo.com, Google.com , altavista.com and so on ? The search reslut from these sites always contain some Headline/Link From Another sites? 2. In many aricles that published in other site, you can always see some link that hidden in a Hypertext phrase, word, context or somethings else. such as link to the site that produce X or Y Software or hardware and so on. or to anpother related article in others sites. What about these link? Is all of these Links are supported by a Papaer Permission Contract?! Please answer my questions If you're [b]REALLY[/b] familiar with this Law topics And It's better --If it's possible-- to Refer Me to some link about these. Thanks

If you're in the US, you have nothing to worry about. It is perfectly legal to link to another site without the site owner's permission.
