---- Texas court bans deep linking

A court in Dallas, Texas has found a website operator liable for copyright infringement because his site linked to an 'audio webcast' without permission. Observers have criticised the judge for failing to understand the internet.

Interesting judgement. The judge ruled that the guy was breaking copyright because he linked directly to a media file.

Critics, including Google copyright lawyer, think the judge dosen't know what he's talking about.

Wonder if this will get overturned?
