Linking to Protected Works

This activity works well at the college level, and is suitable for a general research class (e.g., English 102) or an upper-level marketing class.

• Provide students with a list of links to web sites, some that link to the home page, and some that "deep link" to a page within the web site
• Have them explore the difference between these linking strategies and the implications on copyright.
• Then have them share their findings with the rest of the class.
