clipped from: www.globaltv.com A court case in British Columbia has the potential to drastically change the Canadian Internet landscape by making search engines such as Google and Yahoo! illegal.
A case brought against the Canadian Recording Industry Association by a small search engine for BitTorrent files, called ISOHunt Web Technologies Inc., is raising questions about whether search engines are liable for the sharing of copyright-protected content online.
The question before the British Columbia Supreme Court is if a site such as ISOHunt allows people to find a pirated copy of movies such as Watchmen or The Dark Knight, is it breaching Canadian copyright law?
