I like what Lisa said : "I don't give a second thought about deep linking. This is the web, one big public library"

There is a degree of your own individual perception of the web there ;) its the same as mine and many others i beleive

IMO...

a. Running a web site and linking to external content, I want the content to be directly available from the link i offer (i.e. the deep content)
b. Problem is "link rot". I prefer to link to the home page because its more likely to stay where it is
c. Illegal to link????? sounds crazy
d. Asking to deep link????? Its getting to the point where having to ask to link is going to make the web one big long strand of red tape

I dont mean to downgrade the thread in any way, but reasons against "deep linking" are in the same category as EU laws against bent bananas IMO
