I used to deeplink to another hobby site that had information that my readers enjoyed.

That website put up a new set of 'terms of service' that said they didn't want anyone to do that.

So I emailed all their sponsors with THEIR new terms of service and pointed out they were losing traffic because I could not 'link' to their page anymore.

3 weeks later, the linking policy they had was gone. The sponsors($) spoke up...and I was free to deeplink again.
