terms and conditions (Score 1)

The NY Times article indicated that it may be the terms and conditions that forbid deep linking. Given that few people ever read the legal mumbo jumbo on a web site, it's somewhat disturbing that it may actually be legally enforcable. I am reluctant to call anything a contact that I haven't signed, let alone read!

My site, GeekPress deep links to news on other sites, like slashdot. My hope is simply that those links will be regarded as bringing users into the site that might not have otherwise arrived.

One more thought: Why doesn't ticketmaster block or redirect incoming traffic from tickets.com? Shouldn't technical remedies come before legal ones?
