gizaThere's an interesting article on Slashdot about Orbitz trying to keep people from linking to their website.
It's slightly amusing, seeing that Orbitz is trying to apply some sort of legal agreement to people who have never visited their website.
I think that Orbitz should go read this article about a court case involving deep linking, wherein the judge stated, "This is analogous to using a library's card index to get reference to particular items, albeit faster and more efficiently". It's good to know that there are judges out there who "get" technology and the fact that the web is all about linking.
Oh, and Orbitz? I'll stick with Travelocity, thanks.
