Oh, Cory. If only we had you kicking up dust back in the days of David Siegel and his single pixel gif tricks. Now *that* was a danger to the web.

If you think one lonely page on npr.org is gonna do that much damage to the internet as we know it, well, then I understand your continued abuse of this dead horse.

But, really, I don't think NPR is that powerful. They've never stopped you from linking to them, and we all know that they can't. We all linked to them before this fuss, and we'll all link to them long after. And now, thanks to you, they've said it's okay. Hooray!

Like I said elsewhere: I'm happy with the new policy. They've differentiated between linking and framing, and they've made it more clear what kind of links they don't want. Sure, they're still under the delusion that they have some semblance control over it, and you're right to point out that they don't. But lawyers always have illusions of control, and in the end, even they know they can't stop us.

I count this as a victory. You should, too. Pat yourself on the back and sleep well tonight.
