Challenging search engines and pop-ups under copyright law: Part 2.

This article focuses on Kelly v. Arriba Soft, a legal case in the U.S. Court of Appeals on the West Coast, which challenged search engines and pop-ups under copyright laws. The opinion condemned as illegal what it called "framing" and seemingly condemned as well all hyperlinking to which the linked site did not consent. The losing party, a company operating an image search engine, then called Arriba Soft Corp., seconded by numerous amici curiae, immediately filed papers asking the court to reconsider and refrain from destroying the Internet.
