How To Save The Newspapers, Vol. XII: Outlaw Linking

Firstly, the world already has laws to prevent copying...if someone is copying your content send a take-down notice to their host. Secondly, most popular search engines will obey your robots.txt file. If you want to prevent all incoming links this is easy: 1. Build your page in flash; or 2. Use dynamically generated expiring links (the guys that sell e-books often use this approach). You can also delete your sitemap.xml file and make sure that you have no RSS feeds that link to your site (we wouldn't want these links showing up on a feed reader!) Ignorant?
