Speaking of permission, a more interesting case - not  that Ticketmaster
wasn't: a small town in England sued a London law firm (et al) for
linking a letter to the town's web site which accused a town board member
of fraud (I forget) or gross negligence of some kind.  It became an
international incident because a lawyer friend (and his friends) in the
States linked their sites.  I remember even several US law schools linked
the letter back to the town site...
