Anyone else finds the word "deeplinking" and the court battles around it completely bonkers insane?

I mean, this is linking. It's the whole point of the Web. Why do we even need a separate term for that.
@rysiek Because some are links and some are links that make you "oh oh". Those are deep links.
Are there court battles about it?
@tadzik there were, yes. Some website publishers tried to make "deep linking" illegal, so they could more effectively be the gatekeepers of content on their sites.
It's just cray cray.
@rysiek WTF!? There's legal arguments over this!?
I want more deeplinking!
my guess is "objecting to deeplinking" might make a small amount of sense if you're like twitter and strictly want to be a walled silo accessible through a designed interface rather than URLs
it's so weird (if unsurprising by now) to see things that seem like they're just shitty incidentally to be revealed as part of a carefully crafted plan to be that way...
....only at the exact moment corporations get so greedy they go try to get the actually-deliberate-plan enforced by law.

@rysiek Yup. Had my own spot of bother with it early on. It's why I arrive stuff compulsively now.
