Linking to static pages
March 3rd, 2005 | by aobaoill |Independent News and Media have a long-winded legal disclaimer on their site in which they purport to ban links like this one:
Hypertext links to this website by other users and websites are permitted provided that the link to this website is in a simple list of companies by pointing to Independent News & Media PLC’s home page [www.independentnewsmedia.com]. This limited licence entitles other users and websites to link to Independent News & Media PLC’s home page only, and linking to other content on or information in this website is prohibited without Independent News & Media PLC’s express written consent.
Oh, and funnily, for Ireland’s largest media company (unless you count eircom which is owned by a consortium headed by INM’s CEO, but that’s another story) none of the images on their site work. Not a one.

Oops. Looks like I forgot to include the actual (offending) link. That has now been corrected. Sorry all!
