Submission + - Invoices for deep links from krak.dk
TDJ writes: "A Danish person had a link in the footer of his homepage to krak.dk, a Danish map service. The link opened a new window on krak.dk homepage, and showed his location.
Now after two years krak.dk found out, and invoiced him DKK 4500 (about 750 USD) for previous usage of their service, and then asked him to remove the map. Krak.dk had no mentioning before in their TOS that deep linking is illegal. They do now, of course.
A court order from Denmark, February 2006, has previously ruled that deep links, when used in a fair way, is legal. (Danish text)
