This Is Your Deep Link on P2P: Following links from one Web page to another may soon require users to run special stealth applications, if a Danish search company's experience is a sign of things to come.
To link directly to some newspapers' content, Danish search firm Newsbooster now must use the sort of decentralized subterfuge utilized by companies that distribute file-sharing applications. [...]
"Newsbrowser" offers all the same features as Newsbooster's original Web-based service, but through a separate, downloadable program that runs on a user's own computer.
