Here's a good link for context - a NYT article from September 23, "In Supreme Court Opinions, Web Links to Nowhere:" http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/24/us/politics/in-supreme-court-opinions-clicks-that-lead-nowhere.html http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/24/us/politics/in-supreme-cou...
From the first two paragraphs: "Supreme Court opinions have come down with a bad case of link rot. According to a new study[1], 49 percent of the hyperlinks in Supreme Court decisions no longer work.
This can sometimes be amusing. A link in a 2011 Supreme Court opinion[2] about violent video games by Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. now leads to a mischievous error message[3]."

- pinko 13y agoI love the new, "And if you quoted this in the NY Times, will you do a correction for the now changed text?" line. That wasn't there when the NYT story broke, obviously. Very clever.
