Googling May Break Copyright in Canada

twray writes "From The Globe&Mail: Could it be possible that Canada will make Google or any other Internet search and archiving engines illegal? Bill C-60, which amends the Copyright Act and received its first reading in the House of Commons on June 20, suggests it could be illegal for anyone to provide copyrighted information through "information-location tools," which includes search engines."

    Good thing lawyers and businesses always follow the spirit of the law rather than the letter of it.

    And how many examples exist today to proffer the one man who takes advantage of the "letter?"

    SCO? MSFT? How many others? Just rake your memory. C'mon, we're waiting.

    Now, how sound does this law sound considering the legislative raping it allows?

    It only takes one determined person to rape......
