If links exist which do not result in profit for the linker...or loss of profit from the owner of the linked material...there is no harm and no foul. Links we use here in this forum are examples of this. No one makes or loses money. In fact...linking can result in free publicity for the linked material...so a counter argument could be made that the linker should receive compensation! I think the arguments are counterbalancing...but legal precedents are often irrational and devastating. I don't trust the legal process. With enough money and a dream-team of lawyers...you can get your way...whether you are right or wrong. GO OJ! GO!
