If you post a link to a newspaper's website - do you need its permission?
If you post a link to someone else's website, do you need that person's or company's permission to do so?
You can quote other people's work on your website, but how does linking affect copyright?
Thanks!

I don't think linking can breach any sort of copyright. Unless of course, you are stating that the work is yours.

I think there will be no problem, but you cannot link to their images from their server.

There was a case a few years back where Ticketmaster objected to other companies deep-linking to their site. The case made it to court where the judge ruled that Ticketmaster was a big silly company. Ok, maybe it was worded differently. There have been rulings in other jurisdictions that seemed to contradict that one but in general, nobody really cares unless you blatantly try to pass of the other sites' material as yours or if you screw with their bandwidth.

its fine to link to other sites, but you can get in touch and tell them about it. its always nice to see your own website in the paper and the owners would be super happy

It won't do you good if you do not ask and asking is not expensive I guess.

Different opinion, different approach, I want to say that anything openly published in Internet dont need permission to point anyone to the site in subject, rather poeple do good to the site as they popularize the content.

Host Ghost , You do not need a permission and what is more important you absolutely have to post the link to the site if you copy info from that site on your web page
