Seems that the only objection ever raised was one in the United Kingdom
where a newspaper brought another newspaper to court on the contention that
the defendant had made the links appear as if the litigant's site was part
of the defendant's site.

Attribution of links would solve the objections I am aware of although I
hear that the recent Sonny Bono Act might have some unusual requirements.
