Not the Israeli law.  In Israel it's still legal to link to illegal

How do you define "to link"? Is an e-mail message "a link"? Is a written
snail-mail letter? Is an SMS or spelling out the link over the phone?
All of the above?
If so then how would that seat with freedom of speech?
And which country's jurisdiction is enforceable? The country were the writer
happens to sit in (so what if he's on an international flight over the
Pacific?)? The server he typed his message on? The mailing list server or
the archive server?

and IP laws in general.


I would have expected a better understanding from you, of all people, Ira -
without IP laws the GPL, BSD, Perl's artistic license and all the other
great copyright/copyleft licenses would be meaningless as well.
