Bill C-60 makes Googling illegal in Canada…

Posted on July 14th, 2005 by Paula Skaper

According to an article on Globe Technology this week, provisions in Bill C-60 may make Googling illegal in Canada.

The bill, which received its first reading in the House of Commons June 20, bans making copyrighted material available through “information-location tools”, the definition of which includes search engines.

Of course, the bill has received only its first reading and there are bound to be changes before (and if) it gets passed, but this is certainly something to watch for SEO practitioners.
