Question Is it now wikipedia's position that it will not link to OTHER sites that contain copyrighted information? can you please substantiate that in the rules somewhere?
That is a HUGE change in copyright law on the internet if one site must now verify that another unrelated site it links to has the right to the content the SECOND site contains. That frankly a dangerous and seemingly inappropriate extension of copyright law and responsibility to check it and one that is actively fought against by leading legal groups such as the electronic frontier foundation.
Basically it would seem if wiki was to take that stance it would automatically being claiming liability for any REMAINING links it has to other sites where copyright violations are later found to have taken place. Who is making that decision for wikipedia?
