Linking – referencing someone else’s online intellectual property with a headline, short quote or summary with attribution – is standard practice for users and websites on the Internet.

We, the supporters of the right to link, declare:

1. All should be free to create, forward and follow links — they are the signposts to content on the web.
2. Linking should require no permission nor charge.
3. The free circulation of publicly accessible information is threatened if individuals, organisations and search engines cannot continue to create, forward and follow links without undue restraint.
