Almost all news content from big sites are plagiarized by sploggers.. why not link to them instead? hmm… interesting point.. perhaps bloggers should take a stand and not link to these sites at all.

Meaning, if they don't want deep links, there's plenty of ways to not accept them. For example, the US DoD simply assumes the Chinese Government is executing a state-sponsored "deep link, copy, muck stuff up and destroy" campaign, and has corralled the Beijing blog-elite to contribute from their homes. So - they take action to stop it....I haven't seen any language on DoD.gov that politely asks all world governments and businesses to ask for permission before deep-linking to the latest nuclear submarine construction plans.

Poor programming skills create ridiculous corporate policies. I'm feeling ultra-left wing today so I'll stop the commenting now before I go into a rant about corporate America.

Don't complain about people wandering into your house when you leave all the windows and doors wide open! The only exception being when the referring site uses frames or other techniques so as to make it unclear what site you are looking at.

I should probably keep my political opinions to myself but it's all done with great humour, since maintaining a sense of humour is the only way that I can continue to exist. I've learned a great lesson from this though...rushing and multitasking really can blindside you. I'm trying to slow down today, a bit at least. However, I do think that the issue itself, of a potential clampdown on deep linking on more sites, is a very valid one. Endangering how we do business online is something that we need to think about carefully. I also love the point that Jane brought up...when we blog, we do make mistakes and we have the power to admit them and make things right again. That's actually quite nice, isn't it? Because people certainly aren't going to stop making mistakes any time soon... Anita!

No really, I haven’t got a clue, but Julie - made me laugh on a Wednesday morning too…

And yes Matt I did see the date, but as I mentioned in the post I wasn't about to be arsed enough to go and check things out. I just assumed that they were about as forward thinking as the President they've unleashed upon us.

I'm a big fan of the massive, multi-paragraph strike-through :P Contrast this with "old media", who'll post a Times New Roman size eight retraction in the middle of the Classifieds two weeks after they report something incorrectly! Re: disallowing deep links... holy crap. Are they insane? Take this offline and it's like saying that you can't cite a page within a text, only the text itself. On second thoughts, this would have made university much easier. The thing I love about blogs and bloggers is that we can make errors and amend our posts honestly.
