Comment Freedom to link! (Score 1) 80

I think this is another manefestation of the problem with the legality behind linking to somebody's site. Really all lycos does is link to the mp3's and the pages that contain them. If what comes out of the lawsuit is that lycos is infringing on copyrights, then anybody who links to another site which does "bad" things would be liable.

For example: What if person A put up a site which linked to a person B's home page. Then, what if B put up for download a bootlegged mp3. Is A liable for contributing to copyright infringement because anybody (C, for example) could use A's site to get to B?

I think we should stand up for our freedom to link to any darn site we please, and express our displeasure of these crazy lawsuits.
