I've launched a Michael Jackson website. Can I link to other articles, videos and photos of him without permission?

If you licensed the rights to certain photos, you can display those, subject to the terms of your license agreements, but for anything you haven't secured rights to, including videos and news stories written by others, you'll be infringing on the creative works of others, as well as violating Michael jackson's publicity rights, which his estate retains even after his death.

The facts contained in the news itself is available to anyone, so if you wrote your own news articles, you could those. And while so far there's no definitive court ruling on using news stories written by others (please see the link below), there are recent settled lawsuits where news aggregators have been sued, by AP for, instance, for writing their "own" headline to others' new stories, even while linking to the original. So if you do that, there's a good chance you'll be sued.
