Perhaps there's already a well-established law to address the following
analogy, but I'm still wondering:
If a book is copyrighted, but the copyright doesn't expressly appear on each
page and in each picture in the book, it's still infringement to re-publish
information from those pages. How does this differ from the posting of links
or re-publication of images taken from a site, even if those images don't have
embedded copyright warnings?
I recognize that posting links, rather than actual images, is different, but
I don't think the overarching answer is "if I can get at it, it's fair game."
On the other hand, there's no reason they couldn't make *some* effort to
make the sight less full-of-holes...
Dave!
