Lawyers fail to understand how the net works
 

Lawyers working for the Pan American Games thought it would be a wizard wheeze to threaten to sue anyone who linked to its website at toronto2015.org.

The move by the organisers of the Pan American Games in Toronto is so dumb that we initially thought the move was an attempt to court publicity for the site toronto2015.org.

The lawyers want people to seek formal permission to link to its website at toronto2015.org and fill in lots of forms and include plenty of eight by ten colour glossy pictures with a detailed description of what each one contains on the back. They also require each application to be submitted in triplicate, filed, lost and found and buried in soft peat for 20 years and recycled as firelighters.

Then, and only then will you be able to link to the following website toronto2015.org.
