 The New York Times just doesn't get it..... (sigh)
 
 Scott, a blogger from Apartment Therapy wrote about a letter he got from the NYT paper:,
 [blockquote]"(The blog) "Apartment Therapy New York" received a DMCA take-down notice from the
 NY Times demanding removal of a long list of blog posts containing images  
 from the Times (in posts about relevant Times articles). We love the Times and write about them (and link to them) frequently. We
 are shocked & disappointed their first contact with concerns about our use
 of their images (in posts about their stories!) was a threatening letter & DMCA
 takedown notice to our ISP who have warned us they will disable our servers
 if we don't comply with the NY Times request."

 What steps can you take to actively discourage people from linking to you, thus
 reducing your page views and revenue?

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.
