[Air-l] "legal" question

[Ed Lamoureux]

I webmaster for a grade school. Our principal attended a workshop last
week at which a lawyer suggested that any links (on our site) out to other
sites MUST go to the HOME page only (no deeper). There was a suggestion
that this was mandated by the Digital Millenium Copyright Act and that
linking directly to an article of interest, past the host home page, was
an infringement.

I'm not a legal scholar...though I do try to keep up. This one's new on
me.

Can those of you with experience in this area comment please. Thanks
peace
