A link is a link. It is the title or a word to phrase wrapped with an HTML hypertext anchor tag. This requires no permission. You may summarize the content, but you cannot copy and publish someone else's content beyond Fair Use restrictions, which many consider 10% or 200-400 words with a link for credit to the original source. Do you mean Yahoo the search engine, Yahoo the news, or what? For specifics on Yahoo's copyright and Fair Use policies, ask them. For more information on copyright, see Jonathan Bailey of Plagiarism Today and What Do You Do When Someone Steals Your Content.

Hi – sorry if this sounds ignorant but what is considered a link? Does this mean that I can summarize something I read from – lets say Yahoo – and then link to it and post credit somewhere on the page? If this is correct then can someone explain why when I asked Yahoo for permission I was denied the right to use the link? Thank you.

As the article says, you do not have to get permission to link. I don’t know how else to say that, or maybe I’m not understanding your question. If you use their photographs or designs without their permission, if their site and content is copyrighted, you cannot use them, but links are free. Always have been.

I am in the process of developing a web based personal stylist. With tips and info. on how and what to wear and when. I would like to link to designers websites (homepages), and possibly even have photos or drawing of there current stock. So I would need to put a link to the designers website so that if the person on my site is interested in purchasing the item they know where to get it. Would I have to get permission to do this?

Please help!!!

Thanks
