It's a crime now. It's not just hyperlinking. People should read the news articles more carefully. Remember, everything on the Net has an implicit copyright. That's not just every website, but every webpage. Under the Cooper ruling, explicit permission must be obtained to link to a webpage, not just a website. And more, the ISP who provides hosting is also guilty of copyright infringement. That means you are exposing Wordpress (or whatever hosting you've set up Wordpress) to lawsuits and sizeable fines.
Let's see, the minimum fine is an on the spot $1320.00. The maximum is $13,200 and five years in jail. - How may links do you have over there?
