So here's an interesting legal question- do you 'own' the full URL to a website by registering the domain?
I have never been to the Victoria's Secret website, so I have not read their TOS. Yet, if I see a link on a page (say, these comments) and I re-link to it (http://www.victoriassecret.com/shoes), am I in violation of their TOS?
Do they have any legal ground to stand on to stop me from posting this link? If millions of others post similar links, and they don't defend against those, does it show that they have less of a case?
This all seems absurd to me. My guess is that its posturing on VS's part, and while they might send out some nastygrams from their legal team, they probably wouldn't get far in court if they tried to press the issue more.
