Actually, it is fairly common for sites to either prohibit deep links and to make it impossible to do. There was a case a year or so ago where a site was doing that to another large site where the content was put in a frame making it look like their own.You'd have to ask Bruce the specifics behind the reasoning. AFAIK, the key issue is commercial sites that would link to reviews or content for the purpose of selling their products. Inless we generally prohibit it, then requiring people to get permission doesn't make sense. If someone wants to link the AA's home page or to a forum, that's fine. This is really targeted toward links directly to a XYZ product review.
