One: Law firms are notoriously paranoid about this sort of thing.

Two: Legal representation is cheap for them.

Three: The law firm that gets a winning case over "deep linking =

cleaner lost, the title for 'Silliest lawsuit and most egregious abuse  
of the legal system ever!' is still held by this guy <http://tinyurl.com/4cbhg5
