Cyber Law - Deep Linking

今天很大風又大雨．．．隻腳有少少痛emoticon．．不知什麼時候又受傷．．

細路要去大陸三四星期，悶死我呀．．．

今天上Cyber Law，主要講Copyright related to internet．．新修訂的S35A同一些關於Deep-linking的問題．．什麼是Deep Linking？例如我link去Apple Daily的news，而沒有去Apple Daily的front page．．如果Apple Daily因visitors沒有去front page而suffer loss on advertisment．．這有可能infringe copyright．．原因是我breach了Apple Daily對我的implied licence (visitors should view the homepage as a whole)．．但在Shetland Times Limited的Case入面, Scottish Court ruled that reproducing headlines can be a breach of copyright因為Skill and labour had been expended in making the headlines．．但今天來訪我們的大律師Paul Francis認為there should be two different kinds of headlines: One that is a statement of fact e.g. George Bush visits Beijing; and one that is arranged skilful by editor to create noise e.g. Teed-off villagers in grave action. In this sense, headline that only states the fact should not be protected by copyright, while skilful headline should be protected.
