Deep Linking

Deep linking refers to a link pointing inside a website, bypassing the site's home page. This does not violate the Copyright Act because no copying is involved. So far, no court has found that deep linking is a copyright infringement because most of these disputes have settled. However, linking could also burden the linked-to site's servers, and in the case of images, might display images without credit as to the source. When in doubt, it's best to ask permission before deep linking to another website.
