Once more, I am a LawBreaker™

Can you imagine this fucking stupid website that claims you are actually NOT ALLOWED TO LINK TO THEM??? They want you to fax in a FORM…

Due to the large volume of requests we receive, we do not have a reciprocal linking program. However, if you like, you may link to us at no cost. This option requires the execution by you and Fastcompany.com of a one-page Web-linking agreement. Please download and sign the agreement and fax it to 617-738-5055, attn: G+J legal, Fastcompany.com. As soon as you receive back the agreement signed on behalf of Fastcompany.com, you may begin linking to our content.

This is actually a magazine about the Web and Technology… What is the world coming to…

Check out this other one too.

I have of course contacted them both to let them know that I am a LawBreakerâ„¢!

Fools. They are destroying the web as we know it. (not the first one to do it, but its rare for a magazine that lives off the web to want to destroy it…)

Seriously, I wonder if they really believe that what they are doing is the right thing? I mean dudes, if you really want to forbid linking to your websites, hide them behind private logins and shit. Imagine if it were forbidden to look at storefront windows without express permission of the store owner…. BWAHAHAHA, it cracks me up. Seriously. On the other hand it kinda makes me cry on the inside at the direction the web is going.
