Didn't the whole issue with Napster set a precedence in the U.S. that links to copywritten material became illegal?
I corrected it for you. :)
Present perfect pet peeve?
Alliteration is awesome.
I'm interested to see what the lawlyers do now. <waits impatiently for an update>

Why thank you, most kind. I am just trying to learn teh grammarz like a proper student. That will inevitably include some sort of rehashing of others posts, which by some could be considered to be a pet peeve. To me, it is a calling.
Edit: And my special thank you goes to Callista!
Callista:
actually, "precedence" isn't the right word; it should be "precedent".

See? It's fun! :D
Sagana:
and the "that" is a bit clumsy ("that links"), but there's nothing wrong with the present perfect. The action was started in the past (with the Napster issue) but continues to have import today (being how precedents work and all).
I've no idea what would be considered 'most kind' in that post...
