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.

    Works fine in mine. Perhaps you ought to try using a modern browser?

    ..from any company clueless enough to be using IIS?

    If they are using ASP, they obviously don't "get" this whole "internet" thing.

    Saint Waldo - May be trolling, but now I'm rolling.

    What, pray tell, should companies use? A high GPA after all, is a measure of dedication and perseverance. In particular, it shows one can be dedicated to tasks one might not particularly enjoy. Work and success in the business world, I'm sorry to say, isn't always fun nor a function of how interesting one's ideas are.

    This may be a sad truth, but it is a truth none the less.
