In 1827, Frenchman Joseph Nicephore Niepce placed a metal plate coated in a=20

<BR>Danish Deep-Link Decision Due
<BR>By Farhad Manjoo
<BR>If everything goes well for the Danish news service Newsbooster this wee=
k, nothing will change: The Web will be the same freewheeling place it's alw=
ays been, with everyone allowed to link to everyone else.
<BR>But if a Danish court decides that Newsbooster's "deep links" to newspap=
er sites violates the newspapers' intellectual property rights, the legal la=
ndscape of the Web could be dramatically altered, with sites in Europe and p=
erhaps elsewhere getting new
<BR>leeway to dictate the terms under which other websites can link to them.
