I'm not sure that all the London-based HEIs mentioned would like to be considered as University of London *departments* - but if they are just links, is there anything we can do? -------------------------------------------- Jan Smith Resource Centre Manager University of London External Programme 34 Tavistock Square London WC1H 9EZ Tel: 020 7862 8404 Fax: 020 7862 8383 www.londonexternal.ac.uk -----Original Message----- From: Cox, Will [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 10 January 2002 16:45 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: university-link.com I've had a look through the 'original content' on this site and can't see any logos or pictures lifted from institutions websites, so there does not appear to be any straightforward breach of copyright. However *you* could argue (I can't as we don't appear to be listed!) that some of the deep linking and use of framed pages is a breach of copyright. The site's real address is http://uni-link.tripod.com - which is part of the Lycos network. They class copyright infringement as an abuse of their webspace which you can report at http://help.lycos.com/LycosHelp/help/watchdog/htdocs/lycos_watchdog_form .htm - I guess if enough universities complained they may dump the site, which would at least remove the site for a while, if not permanently.

Well it now has a mix of links either to the same old stuff he wrote about us all, or to our actual websites but in his frame. Today we have been offered the chance to make an offer to buy leeds-university.co.uk, and I notice he's advertising a number of other xxx-university.co.uk domains for sale. Jeremy.
