Deep Linking Danish Lawsuit – ”license to link?”

The recent Danish
lawsuit against deep
linking
had one
blogger ask
\”if link-blocking software is readily available and a website
doesn\’t employ it, does that imply a license to link?\”  Lawmeme\’s
poster took \”exception\” with that, opining that \”the idea that there should
be a license assumes that the owner of the website has some right to control
linking,\” continuing his explanation by reminding me IANAL with, \”but that
for some undefined reason there would be a rebuttable presumption of an
implied license.\”  It\’s a brief, lively defense of deep-linking and
points out the DMOZ
(google
rank
) as well as the ALA
deep linking resources (the latter, I\’m sure, to get a LISNews writeup;-).
