I wonder why people get off on writing articles and hinting at the reader about the original article or PDF and then never linking it? Are they that desperate to keep people on their site just for the ads?
This is somewhat odd, but in the Terms and Conditions on the original site it prohibits linking to the site from any other site or document...
lol so Hacker News is out of compliance with those terms now?
I prohibit you from _not_ linking to it.
It's roughly the same legal argument.
Nah, copyright law prohibits by default as I read it. Then, author selectively grants permissions.
This is simply absurd.
It's 2017 and this thing needs flash... sigh. Thanks for the link.
A site trying to "enhance security" at that. Maybe the job security of bot herders.
