Not really. There was a story on here about a month ago where the CBC (a company owned by Canada) was going after a guy who provided hyperlinks to their audio streams.

It would actually be pretty interesting to hear how his story has progressed in light of this. Hopefully we'll see a follow up story.



To be clear, the guy was selling an app which provided access to radio programs that the CBC was providing for free. My impression was that the charging money part was the problem as the CBC is funded partly by tax dollars.

The content was still served by the CBC and accessed only after the end user activated one of the hyperlinks. He was only charging money for his web browser and home page that hosted those hyperlinks.
