Providing links to material on other websites does not generally raise copyright issues, unless you have reason to suspect that the material on the website you are linking to was put there without the copyright owner’s permission. However, providing such links could raise issues under other areas of law, especially if:

• the link is “framed” so that the material looks like it is on your website;

• the link, or the way it is contextualised on your website, could cause viewers to confuse your site or products with those of a commercial rival; or

• the proprietor of the website that you want to link to has asked you to agree not to provide such links.
