    The Denmark complaint (by a news conglomerate) is that linking directly to their articles allows surfers to bypass advertisements and undermine their revenue stream. I can understand why they'd be upset, but it seems to me a simple change of their advertising strategy would rectify the problem. In fact, since the linked nature of the web certainly existed for much longer than their site, I'd suggest they came up with a stupid ad-strategy in the first place and shouldn't penalize others for their stupidity. But considering the folks they sued were themselves making money by linking (they were a subscription service), I can see the basis for the suit. Still, just incorporate the ads with the content and you'll have no problem.
