Linking is wrong! right?

Neil Gaiman, the writer of the epic Sandman series, as well as Neverwhere and Mirrormask, has received a very amusing legal notice. The whole thing has to do with a website the he doesn't own linking to an unremarkable film's website that he has nothing to do with. No wonder he refers to the whole thing as dada.

And when did linking to a website become against the law? Is it? If so, no one told me. Hell, I'd be happy for people to link to my site. Hmmmm... let's see. What do they call that... oh yes! It's called GENERATING TRAFFIC!

For the developing story, visit Neil Gaiman's blog. And here's the permlink to his first of many entries on the subject. And lastly, here's BoingBoing's take.

don't you people have anything better to do? ugh
