An Australian court has ruled that simply providing Web links to copyright-protected music is enough to make a site legally liable. People are now afraid that Google and other search engines could possibly be guilty of the same violations if search results returned links to copyrighted material.
They were accused of authorizing copyright infringement because they provided a search engine whose results linked to songs available for illegal download, even though the Web site did not store the music files directly.
