Couple years back Ticket Master filed some law suits against a website or two. Basically, Site A was linking directly to a concert information page on Ticket Master. Ticket Master was pissed because if the surfer goes directly to the concert page, they miss all the ads on the front and various other pages. I'm pretty sure they lost the suit, but really not sure.

In another thread, basschick mentions that ACACIA considers infringement to be even the simple act of linking to a page with video on it.

Could these two cases be similar in any way? Does anyone even remember the Ticket Master case?

The hyperlink patent case also comes to mind...
