Reply To: EU link tax – Article 13

Reminds me of the old “BT tried to claim patent of the hyperlink” case, I think it was BT, basically tried to say they invented the hyperlink, and thus everytime a site used one, it should have owed them a fee.

It seems totally impractical to say all links would need to be charged this way. I’d be curious what the underlying intention behind such legislation is.
