What if they find out that you just linked to a "deep-link?"

Seriously though, is it made unenforceable when the usage by both parties (linkedin and users) actually encourage this? (Share this on facebook!) It sounds like a "catch-all" "don't like you" clause.

At least one person has been imprisoned for exactly that.


But he was a hacker, not some commenter on hacke--er... hm.


"Share this on Facebook" sounds like written approval for a link to me.


My guess is it's to prevent "copycat" websites like those for stackoverflow.


What does deep linking have to do with copying a site's content?
