Public Consultation on the liability of Hyperlinkers, Location Tool Services and Content Aggregators
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is seeking views of UK business, consumers and other organisations on whether Articles 12 to 14 of the Electronic Commerce Directive (EC Directive 2000/31/EC), which limits the liability of intermediary service providers where they act as mere conduits, caches or hosts of information, and which was transposed into UK law by the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002, should now be extended to providers of hyperlinks, location tool and content aggregation services.
