The Internet is pushing the boundaries of the current law, particularly in the realm of intellectual property. The World Wide Web is one of the most popular components of the Internet. The Web contains a wealth of information which anyone can access, quickly and inexpensively.
Information is available on the Web in various sites, each site dealing with a particular subject.
To access a particular web site, a user can simply type in the address of the site. If the user does not know the specific site address, then a keyword search using a search engine can be performed to locate the site. The list may then be perused for the relevant web site addresses. This type of keyword searching is already extensively in use in databases such as Quicklaw and Lexis Nexis. Examples of search engines include Yahoo, AltaVista and Lycos.
