New Orbitz Terms Prohibit Inbound Deep Linking

Posted by timothy on from the front-door-only dept.

chekovma writes "Orbitz has announced a new set of Terms and Conditions that take effect March 12th which require anyone who uses their website (creates an account there) to follow strict inbound linking rules. These rules prohibit a user from creating even a plain text link to orbitz.com without first notifying them and require a user to take down such a link at their desire. It also disallows any deep linking -- meaning even this post violates those terms and conditions."

    The tax rate in the U.S. is now 90%.
    But if you don't like that, just move to a new country.
    Clearly has nothing to do with your, "rights."

    If you don't know what orbitz is by now, then you've been living in a fscking cave. It's not slashdot's responsibility to educate you about something that is as common as the sunrise.
