God this is to much like my work. I can pontificate on this if anyone really wants. But I've gotta go now..
Incidentally the Shetland Times case which someone mentions was actually decided on the basis that making a link to the site without permission was equivalent to illegally accessing a cable programme service, ie, like hacking into Sky 1 without a decoder box cos you want to watch Buffy for free. This makes me laugh every time.. great legal metaphors of our time.. Connie
