  Haven't the courts ruled you don't need permission to have a link?

    Didn't even know this was a thing.

      Just make sure that all your links are copyrighted works (authored by you of course) and then DMCA anywhere the link appears.

        That's so crazy it might just work. I checked an article about copyright protection for short phrases[0] and learnt that a court ruled that the text “I may not be totally perfect, but parts of me are excellent” is protected by copyright. It would thus be possible for the author of that phrase to register: i-may-not-be-totally-perfect-but-parts-of-me-are-excellent.com and sue anyone who links to them. Hopefully the author will be so grateful for this insight that they won't sue me for reproducing their copyrighted work in this comment.
