"Deep Linking" Controversy Renewed in Texas

DaDigz writes "Wired News is reporting on a cease and desist letter sent to an independant news site by Belo, corporate parent of The Dallas Morning News, forbidding them from linking to individual stories within the site. They claim that the author can only link to the site's homepage, and attempting to link to stories within the site violates their copyright." Next week Time Magazine will require you to read pages 1-36 before reading the article you want on page 37. Don't complain, it's their copyright ;)

    I hate this hell hole. No, really.

    As if it wasn't bad enough that we have one of the highest IT unemployment rates in the country, The humidity here can make you sweat through your clothes after sitting in it for 15-20 minutes in 80 degree weather, and I've lived here all my life.

    PLEASE LET ME OUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

    Other than that, Texas is a nice place to live :P
