Most of you may have noticed that WTV continually attempts to block direct access of WTV URLs.... such as wtv-cookie:/list, etc. WTV has removed JS from the GoTo, removed support for active WTV links in sigs, etc. All these moves are service related.... the removal of support for these links within selected areas of the browser. But I have to wonder about WTV links WE may have on our own HPs. Now I know why they are doing it.... but my key quesion is if WTV, in disabling these links, is in effect altering the content and functioning of OUR web pages... is this legal? Remember that while WTV may find ways to remove JAVA apps which the service never supported, these WTV links obviously were always supported, then support was removed. This is not a case of claiming, as WTV did with JS in mail and the GoTo, that they never intended to support this functionality so they are justified in removing it. Hmmmmm, it's off to the TOS. LOL
