- Directory of information on the case of
Kelly v. Arriba Soft, in which a photographer has sued an
image search website for inlining images from his site.
Unfortunately, the courts so far (as of April, 2002) have
ruled that linking to images without owner's position is
a violation of public display rights under copyright law.
This wrongheaded ruling could undo the entire (US portion of)
the World Wide Web if not overturned.
