Deep linking update: "violation of EU law"

German newspaper Mainpost's ongoing battle with news search site Newsclub has led to a Munich ruling that deep linking by search engines violates the "Database Directive" of European Union law. "Legal experts believe that if the ruling is upheld, it could easily become a firm legal precedent across the European Union, drastically limiting the information that many European search engines are allowed to provide to their users."
