* Bandwidth Piracy defined: This is *not* the same as making a simple link from your website to my website. Any link to pages that end in ".htm" or ".html" is fine, great, wonderful. Bandwidth piracy is a very different, serious offense in which one person links directly to an image, soundfile, or other non-hypertext file on my server, so that they do not have to save it to their server, and thus save money since hosting companies usually charge site-owners by how much data their website uses.
To reiterate: I have no problem with anyone linking to the regular pages of my website, as long as they respect the rest of the License Agreement. Have fun! ;-)
