She is a federal judge, so she has the job for life. In-line links and embedding are free publicity. They are educational. They are Fair Use. They are a lot of things, but they are not copyright infringement. This bad decision certainly seems an argument that judges should not be allowed to hear cases involving the internet unless they have been certified as understanding how the internet works.

Please keep an eye on this case – I expect you’re planning to anyway – and let us know how it plays out.
