I'm sure some here will enjoy / be horrified by this. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/24/us/politics/in-supreme-court-opinions-clicks-that-lead-nowhere.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&_r=0 > In Supreme Court Opinions, Web Links to Nowhere > By ADAM LIPTAK > Published: September 23, 2013 > > WASHINGTON — Supreme Court opinions have come down with a bad case of link rot. According to a new study, 49 percent of the hyperlinks in Supreme Court decisions no longer work. and: > The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco, could serve as a model. It maintains an electronic archive of what it calls “webcites” in the PDF format. > > Professor Zittrain and his colleagues are at work on a more ambitious solution, Perma.cc, a platform built and run by a consortium of law libraries. It allows writers and editors to capture and fix transient information on the Web with a new, permanent link. Cheers, -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
