Wouldn't be legally binding (in the U.S., anyway): All the cases that have gone to
court so far
(like Ticketmaster's lawsuit) have said anyone has the right to link to anything they
want to on the
web, even in cases of so-called "deep linking" (which was the case in the Ticketmaster
suit).

Don't think this is technically possible. If it was, then Ticketmaster wouldn't have
*needed* to sue
in the case I mentioned above.

I put a small copyright notice in all mine (to enable honest people to find out who
owns the
copyright if they want to) and a Digimarc embedded watermark in the image to help me
in the case of
dishonest people.
