Topic: Politics and Law 7:45 pm EDT, Aug  7, 2002

The spread of anti-deep linking policies. The reason that most large corporations are such awful places to work is that according to most attorneys and (worse) ill informed human resources compliance people, being risk adverse is the same thing as being *life* adverse. Corporations pay lawyers to spend hours spewing contract nonsense that is designed to limit any liability and maximize any privilege for the person who is paying for the spewage. The fact is that over time this stuff is bending society in the most sinister ways. Ways we'd never legislate. Ways we'd never agree to collectively. But by the time you realize it, you're already fucked. The reason your culture is dying is that you didn't bother to look at the fine print.

"OK, this one is really stupid. Easy Booking Service says not to link to its home page; instead, it wants you to read the linking instructions on this page, which sends you to this page, which contains a form to fill out, and you'll supposedly receive the URL by e-mail. "
