THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS deep-linking fiasco is thoroughly examined on Slashdot. Conclusions in brief: (1) It’s easy to set up a website so as to prevent deep linking if you want to; and (2) If you do that, you’re a complete blithering idiot, since you destroy most of its appeal.

Sounds about right to me. So apparently the Dallas Morning News folks are technically incompetent idiots, rather than greedy, selfish assholes. Whatever.
