Framing

Framing refers to dividing web pages into separate "frames", with some content in one frame and other content in another. Some sites frame another site's content within its own navigation giving the impression that the framed content appears on that website. Although no actual copying occurs, framing may give the false impression of sponsorship or affiliation or might be considered copyright infringement as a derivative work.

Where a frame surrounds another site's content with its own ads, or cuts off the ads on the framed page, there is a real basis for protest and possibly liability. Framing should therefore probably be avoided.
