Does outline have some special deals with media sites?

And if it's simply stealing content, why aren't companies suing outline into oblivion like they did with Napster?

I doubt they have a deal. The only place I've seen it used is HN, so they might not have noticed yet.

Thanks! A short note what is under the link would get more clicks/be more usable. Otherwise you're asking too much trust.

On HN, it is well known what an Outline link is for, especially on WSJ articles.

It was actually new to me.
