In a Forbes.com article about the new GoogleVideo/YouTube-on-the-blockster "Dailymotion.com" recently reported a college law professor - clearly out of touch with current copyright issues and law - saying that, in effect, merely linking to a site that contains illegal content is violating law (for this arguement, copyright act law).
Not only this passed March 2006 did the US Supreme court say that any site linking to other sites cannot be held legally or otherwise responsible for any other content than what is on its own site, but that also no site linked to can expect nor can they legally hold liable nor can they force any linking entity from linking to their site.
Even Forbes.com dropped the ball on this issue. Yawl better stay up on the info.
