I ran into this kind of thing years ago (Score 1)

This reminds me of when I was almost called to a discipline hearing when I was at Ohio State in the early web days (around 1995-1996) when I put links to sites like Yahoo. In this case the Dean said it was somehow a copyright violation and that written permission was needed from each site to link to the home page. Fortunately it didn't go this far, but was a bit of a nightmare.
