Going through some TAG archives, I just noticed this post, relevant as I was about to post an issue on a similar policy: In Belgium, one public transport web site has posted a "condition of entry" to their web site being that you will only establish a link to their site after seeking and being granted permission to do so. see www.stib.be Peter Brown European Parliament -----Original Message----- From: www-tag-request@w3.org [mailto:www-tag-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Ian B. Jacobs Sent: 16 August 2004 17:19 To: www-tag@w3.org Subject: Athens Olympics site policy regarding links to the site Hello, The Athens Olympics organizers have created a policy [1] for linking to the Website that is inconsistent with both the "When to use Get" finding [2] and to some extent the Deep Linking finding [2]. In particular, the policy states: "For your protection and ours we have established a procedure for parties wishing to introduce a link to the ATHENS 2004 website on their site. By introducing a link to the ATHENS 2004 official Website on your site you are agreeing to comply with the ATHENS 2004 Website General Terms and Conditions." (They can be contacted at terms@athens2004.gr) _ Ian P.S. Thanks to Karl Dubost for raising awareness of this.
