Hyperlinking OK, judge says

This was a ruling in favor of "Tickets.com" which was sued by
"Ticketmaster" for
linking to individual records in the Ticketmaster site, rather than to
the front page.

My opinion: This is a *good* ruling, as the whole WWW was designed along

the lines of being able to link wherever you wanted to, basically.

Don't want other people linking directly to your database records? Hide
them
behind a CGI script or something, but don't go running to a judge,
expecting to
change the rules of the game...
