Summary: Article discusses the role of the "implied license" in digital media. Author proposes a conceptualization of implied licenses based on public policy and reasonableness that overrides intents of parties and can transcend contract provisions in favor of clearly defined rules. This proposal would simplify and clarify rules regarding internet practices, such as linking, framing, and operation of search engines.
