Re: legalese versus plain english

It is a very common practice to link to web sites without getting
permission.  There have been a few cases where "deep linking" into the
middle of a site and making it look like it is your own content has caused a
lawsuit.

Linking between related sites is the very nature of the web.  They should
welcome the additional traffic as well as the increased "relevance rating"
they get on certain search engines from having additional links to their
site.
