Does an owner of a Web page have the right to prevent other sites from
linking to hers? This presentation examines the legalities of this issue
in their historical, cultural, and technological context. The evolving
nature of site relationships on the Web (from "free linking" to the
controversies of "Web framing" to the recent emergence of "link
licenses") will be analyzed and analogies made to the development of
"access rights" in the laws of real property and of intellectual
property. In addition, the use and legal effectiveness of disclaimers
(such as, "This site has not granted permission to any other site to link
to it and does not endorse the content or the products or services sold
on any such site.") will be discussed.
