The "printer-friendly" deep link in question (verboten!): http://www.runnersworld.com/home/0,1300,1-0-0-1963-1-0-P,00.html Previous Politech message: "Latest linking spat: Dallas Morning News sends silly nastygrams" http://www.politechbot.com/p-03471.html Politech archive on linking: http://www.politechbot.com/cgi-bin/politech.cgi?name=linking --- http://www.wired.com/news/ebiz/0,1272,52514,00.html Another Run to a Deep-Link Suit By Declan McCullagh 10:00 a.m. May 14, 2002 PDT WASHINGTON -- Add a major magazine publisher to the ranks of websites peeved about "deep links" to their articles. Rodale Press, the publisher of Runner's World magazine and many other prominent health-oriented publications, sent a stiff note to a hobbyist website this week, demanding it delete a hyperlink to a "printer-friendly" version of a runnersworld.com article -- or face the consequences. Allen Tullar, an attorney representing the Emmaus, Pennsylvania-based publisher, gave the LetsRun.com site until the end of the day Tuesday to comply, saying otherwise, "My client will pursue its rights" under federal copyright law. Rodale's nastygram comes not long after the Dallas Morning News became irate over so-called deep links to newspaper articles. Deep links point to specific sub-pages on a website, allowing readers to bypass the site's home page, and, occasionally, avoid seeing some advertisements.
