So, I read this today on BBC news website:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-26187730
Which is interesting since, in Singapore, certainly ST and S-t-o-m-p etc don't allow us to link to them
Thoughts? Is it just because the press here are worried that people may criticize them and they are unable to take such criticism?

LOL, my above post just gets cut off automatically because I mention A-s-i-a-1. Let me try it again. If this does not work, I may not be incline to post it a 3rd time. Here goes:
This is very perplexing to me. They don't like links to their site but when you go directly to A-s-i-a-1.com , the content is publicly available. Is it because they don't want our lives to be so easy and want to make us work for it by typing more keystrokes? Why don't they want exposure and wider readership. Even though I grew up in SG, sometimes I just don't understand the logic or way of doing things. If someone has some insight, please share.

From this BBC article it is unclear what kind of linking they are talking about. Posting a link, like this has been always considered legal. Only hot-linking (in-frame type), that display the source content on the host website have been in question and IMHO rightly so.
