   Since it was ruled in a Texas court, does that not mean that it only applies to the State of Texas?

   No, It would set a precedent for the rest of the country.

   However, I think that as a website admin and as a creator of various online media, that this decision should be upheld. It is a good step in protecting our online copyrights.
   I hate when people directly link to my pictures and use them on their myspace, or directly link to the music files on my website (and use them on their myspace!), and so on.
   If it hasn’t happened to you, then you might not understand how frustrating this is.

   Just because the internet is open and free doesn’t mean that now we all have an excuse to ignore people’s intellectual property and copyrights.

   Theres a big difference between linking to media like audiofiles and pictures and deep linking to a webpage as the webpage would likely carry branding and the potential for advertising.
