Internet under attack. Again.
As if BT’s attempt to patent the hyperlink[1] wasn’t bad enough, now we have movements in the shadows to prevent linking at all. This goes against the quintessential fabric of the internet itself, and is stupid.
If your average copyright holder is truly so upset that part of their content gets copied into a search result snippet, why don’t they just stick it all behind a paywall and be done with it.
