RE: LOT (Little OT): Interesting Oracle related URL's.

[MHately]

Folks,

Just my opinion but :
Hosting a document on your site without the author's express or implied
permission is bad.
Providing a 'deep' link direct to a document within another site is OK if you
check with the site owner. It's plain bad manners if you don't OK it first.
Linking to the home page of the site containing the document is fine (unless, as
mentioned, the link is along the lines of 'This bloke is a total arse and his
paper is pitiful - here it is').

Another thing I hate to see is links to sites which pop the target site into a
frame within the source site.

Also, I'm no lawyer but contrary to an earlier post I'm sure that posting
copyrighted material on your own site without gaining permission IS a crime.
Perhaps someone can correct me there = )

Regards,
Mike Hately
