Hello Eugene & The 3000-L,
   Question: Is linking to copyrite'd materials on an organization's
website (such as www.familydoctor.org) considered 'distribution of copyrite
material' that violates the law?

   This question came from a web developer who believes that linking to
sites such as the above listed site would violate the law and a company
policy of prohibiting the distribution of copyrited material.

I found this on the familydoctor website related to the linking to their
website from a website ... but still wondering about the legality of
copyrite material usage

What if I want to link to the Academy's site?

    I am cross posting this onto the HP 3000-L for their imput as well..
though you are definitely considered the final source on computer legal
matters in that Realm.
