I personally think it's better safe than sorry! Let's get rid of them, and request in the review page URL wiki page that AMG not be added as a link due to their TOS.
Nyght aka Beth -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Wyles Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 6:23 AM To: MusicBrainz style discussion Subject: [mb-style] AR links to AMG I've just done a quick check of the URL AR links and it appears there are 27 album URL AR links and 7 artist URL AR links into www.allmusic.com It is my understanding that AMG don't allow deep linking[1] and linking into a competitor is also a little cheaky. Additionally, the wiki[2] also hints that linking to AMG isn't sensible for technical and legal reasons. Questions: 1. Should we continue to allow AR's linking into AMG sites? 2. If 'no' to question 1, how can users be informed regarding this or should a check be put in to prevent those URL's from being entered.
