The review also places several new digital copyright issues on the table. It creates the disturbing prospect for "linking liability," questioning whether merely providing an on-screen link to a Web site that hosts infringing material should itself be considered copyright infringement. It also raises the possibility of broadening the definition of "fair dealing," an important exception to copyright infringement, to make it more like the fair-use doctrine found in the United States.
