The Shetland Times case has been settled - links will be permitted with certain conditions

See http://www.shetland-news.co.uk/headline/97nov/settled/settled.html

And it was even settled reasonably, and without setting new bad UK case law. (For those who don't remember the case, the Shetland News and Shetland Times are Scottish newspapers with web pages. The News was linking from its page to some of the Times's stories without pointing out that the stories were in their competitor's paper, and the Times sued them. In the settlement they agree that the News may link to the Times's pages, and that they'll only do so with visible indications that they're doing so.) Thanks!
