make my day, bill-ites. So there's a
blog first created by the volunteers who watched Fox to create the data necessary to produced
OutFoxed. They posted an
item
about a Bill O'Reilly column, which itself was posted on the web. The
company syndicating O'Reilly's column wrote them a nasty letter,
telling them to take the column down. They did, and replaced it with a
link. The same company wrote again, insisting that the blog was guilty
of "unauthorized linking." Dear syndicators of Bill: Me thinks there's
no such concept as illegal linking (outside of China, at least, and
please, don't pester me with misreadings of the 2600 case). Indeed, I
think that I, like anyone else, am perfectly free to link to the
column, as this
link
does. And indeed, I'd invite anyone else out there who thinks that we
still live in a FREE LINKING world to link to the same. Got to find
some way to keep those lawyers busy. [
