Solve : question on adding "links" to a website ??

Answer»

I have a friend with a small personal website. He added a link to youtube & some other sites. Do you need permission from these sites before doing so?
Is there some kind of protocol involved before adding links? I don't think so, because it's not like you're linking to a copyrighted download.

No, I don't think so.Thanks -dblade .....

I was thinking ALONG the same lines "copyrighted"
By "added a link" you mean a hyperlink? If so, then your friend has nothing to worry about. There's nothing wrong with linking to content on another site. There could, however, be a problem if he were to post the content directly on his site, especially if he were to hotlink it. But in the case of Youtube videos, I wouldn't worry too much. It's basically public domain, so I wouldn't foresee any copyright issues for your friend.Thanks "Mathew"

hotlink > isn't that where it's highlighted and you just click on it and it takes you there?

No, i think hotlink is doing this:



Where that picture is directly from the owners website
If i'm not supposed to do that, just tell me and i'll remove that pictureQuote from: honvetops on April 19, 2007, 06:11:26 AM

No, that's a hyperlink. Hotlinking is when you take material from a site and put it on your own without hosting it on your server, which uses their bandwidth.

I personally don't care if you do it or not 'cause it's not my bandwidth, but I do believe Nathan frowns upon it.There is no copyright on linking to a website, there is however, copyright on using whatever another webmaster created. CONSIDERING WHETHER or not he copyrighted it. Nothing on Youtube is copyrighted, if it is, it will be removed. You can directly link to Youtube MOVIES if you want. I removed the image, Mario never looked good with an applei appreciate all the info for this old man, I will (link) him this thread ( LOL )
