EPISODE 69
02/21/07

In this special geek double-feature we discuss several recent cases on the legality of deep linking, or the practice of linking to anything deeper in a site than the homepage. Recently Google lost a case in Germany for linking to news articles, and another man was sued for linking to audio files on a website. What is the right balance between protecting the internet and the rights of content providers? Afterwards, we discuss fate vs. free will in sci-fi! What is the role of fate and prophecy in films? When is it good, and when does it become bad sci-fi?

Get all this and more right here on Geeskon!
