Coming off a recent
proposal to tax sunlight, the government of Spain appears to be on a roll, and is poised to criminalize
linking to allegedly infringing copyrighted content.
From ZDNet:
Spain is introducing tough new penalties for owners of websites that
link to pirated versions of copyrighted material, after pressure from
the US over its piracy record.
Under new legislation introduced as part of a wider reform of the
country's penal code, owners of sites found to be making money from
linking to pirated material will face prison sentences of up to six
years and the closure of their site.
