You May Not Link This Web Site

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the you-can't-make-this-stuff-up dept.

Ganon34 sent us a funny story about a company requiring permission to link their website. The company in question is KPMG, a financial and legal advisory company, and the article itself is an entertaining read about the aftermath of them sending demands that someone remove a link to their public web site. It's a pretty funny piece -- especially the part about KPMG's theme song. Also references the old ticketmaster vs ticet.com case that held up deep linking. It's all funny 'cuz its true. Their page could also use some testing since it doesn't render in my browser.

    I know these folks; they used to accidentally send emails intended for The Economist to me all the time.

    Much more fun than all the Rush Limbaugh emails I used to get; these would have secret details of stuff days or weeks before it was due to be released by the press.

    Their spelling is better than Slashdot spelling, however

    That's "speeling" not "spelling"...what a maroon.

    Boy, Dionne Warwick must have it bad. She's gone from "That's What Friends Are For" to singing the KPMG theme song. And I thought she was dead.
