Reading that story tells me the context of that case wouldn?t be that helpful to us. That issue didn?t deal with patent infringement. There was no relationship between the person doing the linking and the site being linked to in fact they objected to it. In this case the allegation is more or less that the linker is aiding the infringer in a scheme the deprives a patent owner of his rights.

Yes but does the patent holder have the legal right to double dip? If the sponsor is paying the license fees, why should sites that link to that sponsor also have to pay them?
