The Experts Aren't Sure," by Carl Kaplan New York Times, August 6 http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/99/08/cyber/cyberlaw/06law.html These two fairly recent article from the New York Times attest to the continuing concern about the legality, or advisedness, of linking, especially deep-linking, to certain web material. Although the cases involving commercial linkage to commercial sites may be comparatively clear, the cases involving the non-commercial use of commercial sites are perhaps those more compelling for this community. An incident related to the two specific cases cited in these two articles was that involving art museums, in the Spring, protesting the deep-linking to digital reproductions of works in their collections by the on-line Grove Dictionary of Art, published by Macmillan (see the article in the May 13 New York Times, "Art Online: The Internet Mounts a Masterpiece," http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/99/05/circuits/articles/13grov.html ).
