EFF: claim that consent needed for linking is "preposterous"
,----[ Quote ]
| BlockShopper's transgression, such as it is, appears to be the posting of
| public information. The site shows which partners, lawyers, philanthropists,
| and executives have purchased properties in specific city neighborhoods, and
| it incurred Jones Day's legal wrath after showing the new purchases of two
| Jones Day lawyers. The company sued on trademark grounds, claiming that the
| use of its name and web link on the site were illegal.
