What is framing and infringement of copyright?
In the context of copyright infringement, framing refers to the act of displaying content from one website in a frame of another. The outer website can then present the content as its own, or even surround it with ads. Because there is no illegal copying or distribution of the content happening--the offending site is merely pointing at the content on the owner's server--a traditional interpretation of copyright law would seem to allow framing. However, many content owners have sued and won. An extensive discussion of framing, with links to examples, is linked below.
