I'm not entirely sure I agree with this part. If I say, "John's website is at this address," John doesn't get to say "HEY! I get to decide who links to me," because copyright isn't for facts, it's for content. That's why I disagree so vehemently with the PadMapper decision: All they were saying was "There's a CL post for this address." That's not content, and it's certainly not enough content to replace the functionality CL sued over.
