"Tonight," writes the Idaho Conservative Blog blogger, "I received an email from David Staats the Local News Editor at The Idaho Statesman which read in part, 'Every story in the Statesman, in print or online, is copyrighted under federal law, either by us or by the organization supplying it to us to use by permission, and none of it may be reproduced without permission. We ask that you please ask permission to link to any Statesman story, and please provide only a brief summary on your site and a link from your site to the story on ours.' Now don’t misunderstand, Mr. Staats was very polite to ICB on this issue. The meat of the request is provided above but in the rest of the email he was cordial. I have agreed to this request and as you might have noticed, all my links to the Idaho Statesman have been removed from ICB"/Idaho Conservative Blog. More here.

Question (for HBO blogosphere bloggers): How do you handle links?
