My sense is if you put it on the public internet, by default you are giving people the ability to link to it. It’s just a matter of how hard or easy you choose to make it.

Copying copyrights is more complex.




Then where do ad-blockers fall? Am I violating copyright/rights-management by altering how content is viewed?

If a content provider can dictate the terms by which their content is consumed, why not dictate linking rights too?


We are getting further from my expertise. My inclination is on the public internet it’s ok to make an ad blocker and ok to make something that thwarts the ad blocker. Different on a private network.
