[thelist] Legal Advice - Linking

[Erik Mattheis]

Not that I'm a lawyer or anything, but this seems a no-brainer. You
don't feel obligated to credit google for helping you find info on the
Internet, do you? It might be a nice thing to thank the sites for
helping you in your research, but to draw an analogy: if someone tells
you about a sweepstakes they say you should enter, and you do and you
win, they'd be laughed out of court if they tried to claim a right to
your winnings.
