Just an FYI -- free sites will usually allow linking, but may have security in place to discourage deep linking (linking to a page deep within a site).

Sites that cost money generally have stuff in place to prohibit use of a link to someone who doesn't have the right IP address. I would need a proxy server set up to emulate whatever the host's site IP address is, and that usually requires an account with the IP host.

For example, if I give you a link to a reference in the online OED, you would need to have an account with this university, or be able to emulate such an account, to use that link - even if you had your own account with the OED.

The technology's not perfect ::)
