Abstract
The Internet has added yet another dimension to the production and consumption of information. Long merely consumers of content, Internauts are now also major producers of it. Search engines make it possible to sift through the enormous quantity of material that is finding its way into digital form. Going online has become an adventure in discovery for those who eagerly surf the billions of Web pages housed in the global Internet. Because of its global reach, the Internet seriously threatens to undermine IP protection regimes that have long served copyright holders
