Deep Linking Returns to

Deep Linking Returns to Surface. The Danish Newspaper Publishers' Association is trying to stop a news service from linking to stories within its website in a case some fear may alter the natural course of the Web. By Michelle Delio. [Wired News]

I sure hope the courts take into consideration the "tradition" of the World Wide Web. First, it was the World Wide Web. Then, it became the World Wide Web Controlled By Commercial Interests. In that order. In my opinion, if the commercial interests want to use the web, they should adapt to the web, and not try to force the web to adapt to them.
