You know how people repost info from articles on LJ so people don't need to actually go to websites? Deadline threatened legal action a while back over their content being rehosted and not getting clicks. I guess disallowing the domain is helping them stay off their radar? Who knows. I tried to link dead line a few times because they were the only source for things, but still not allowed.

The AV Club also has an article about it, amusingly titled CW Says Screw It, Renews Everything.
