Emmerich Newspapers wants the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to scrap the Server Test, something that's been legal precedent for almost two decades.
Emmerich Newspapers also argues that altering a URL, via something like a link shortener, should constitute copyright infringement under the DMCA ("Prohibition on changing or deleting copyright management information").
In short, they want to make link embedding and link shortening essentially illegal (or least very legally gray). Copyright maximalists are batshit insane.
