A little while back I mentioned in passing the idiotic little war now being waged by dunderheaded corporations as well as public institutions (most notably The Dallas Morning News and NPR) against "deep-linking." At the time, I thought it was only a few misguided know-nothing-about-the-'net-so-I'll-make-up-stupid-rules types who are insisting that webmasters refrain from linking to articles or multimedia buried deep within their pitiful little sites.
Boy was I ever naive.
Thanks to Don't Link to Us!, freedom-lovers can view with horror the rediculous lengths these nudniks go to in order to stop people from giving them free publicity. I have surfed the links and, for your benefit, collected the worst offenders for my own Terms of Use (a threatening term if I ever heard one.)
