Slightly OT: Bastard plagiarists

['Computer Collector Newsletter']

I'm all for linking.  In fact, the site is linked all over the web, and I
love that.

IMHO, no one should need permission to link.  If you put a site on the
public web, then anyone can link to it.  The whole point of hypertext,
right?

Prudent quoting is just as okay-dokey.  My problem is with wholesale
copying.

Does he have permission to link to it?

Do *I* have permission to link to it?
