Todd,

It is not illegal to deep link to your own property.

Deep Linking is Illegal!

According to recent press releases and court rulings, deep linking to a web
site is illegal.

Others have indicated that this is a major legal issue.

and

Of course, all of this comes after a court ruling that said 2 years ago that
Deep Linking was legal:

This is why I love the Internet. It's like the wild west frontier where we are
all walking around with our six gun in our belt (our web site) and we are all
shooting from the hip (any activity we do with our web site). Some day some
body may hang us "fer whaat we done" (flame us or take our web site down or
send us a ceases and desist order). Only this wild west is a cyber wild west.
