A bill before Canada's Parliament could make it illegal for search engines to cache Web pages, critics say, opening the door to unwarranted lawsuits and potentially hindering public access to information.

The legislation in question, Bill C-60, is designed to amend Canada's Copyright Act by implementing parts of the 1996 World Intellectual Property Organization treaty, the treaty that led to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in the U.S.

2. Disband WIPO

WIPO only believes in one thing - controlling all media until every possible revenue stream is tapped. If they could find a way to take everything back out of the public domain that's already in it, they would. I'm not surprised that they are sponsoring yet another backdoor attempt to lock up content.
