A proposed amendment to the Digital Economy Bill in the UK exempts search
engines from copyright infringement claims from third parties – Rupert
Murdoch presumably included. The amendment would give Google legal
immunity with which to index News Corp. content, settling that thorny
topic once and for all. However, under the amendment a publisher blocking
search spiders with a robots.txt file would be taken as withholding that
right. [Guardian]
