2600 has won a case that seems to be good news for the right to link.
\”The court further strengthens the right to hyperlink by stating that \”Trademark law does not permit Plaintiff to enjoin persons from linking to its homepage simply because it does not like the domain name or other content of the linking webpage.\” Finally the court held that given the lack of \”connection with goods or services,\” the standards for unfair competition are \”not satisfied simply because a prospective user of the Internet may face some difficulty in finding the home page he is seeking.\”
