> It is important to distinguish between the Royal Mail case and the Nikkei case. In the latter case I think the assertion was that Nikkei had the right to prohibit anyone from making a link to their web pages. This is nonsense. Very different from the Royal Mail case, where they invite linking but suggest specific URLs because those are the ones they commit to maintaining. They also to their credit give a URL construction algorithm for tracking a parcel.
