That's Nebu's Achilles Heel
The point you've raised is Nebu's Achilles Heel and I suspect that deep pockets, the likes of Google, etc., will sue if this system is widely adopted. (It will be interesting to see if Nebu and ISP supporters try to interject language in to Markey's bill that would somehow address copyright issues raised by how Nebu functions.). Let's face it, in the early 90's when the Internet's GUI interface made the system friendlier to average users intimidated by entering commands at a prompt (yes, I'm old enough to have had access to the Internet when there was no GUI WWW but simply Archie, Gopher, and good old Pine Mail) the courts began holding that linking within frames was a copyright violation. Most of those early cases were brought by publishers concerned about the loss of ad revenue when portions of their web pages were brought in to another site's frame and the advertising from the original site wasn't visible. |
