See [1]. From Slashdot [2]: "The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that posting links is not the same as posting the actual content, but more similar to a footnote. 'The top court ruled against former Green party campaign manager Wayne Crookes, who argued that posting links to sites with defamatory statements was the same as publishing the defamatory material.'" Interestingly, the court ruling directly refers to "shallow and deep hyperlinks", and interesting use of terminology, and apparently consistent with our own usage.
