The 2000 E-Commerce Directive chose not to establish a safe harbour for links, or more generally for information location tools. This lack of protection prompted the discussion of whether providers of links could nonetheless be shielded from liability under other provisions of the Directive. In any event, the current safe harbour scheme might prove elusive to deal with linking, particularly in the fields of copyright and data protection, where linking may be considered an illicit activity in itself if it lacks authorization. In the field of data protection, the CJEU has considered search engines controllers of, and thus fully responsible for, the processing of personal data contained in the webpages they link to. In the field of copyright, the CJEU holds that providing a link amounts to a ‘communication’ of the linked content. In the cases decided so far, the court found that such a communication was not made to a ‘new public’ and thus it did not need authorization. Nonetheless, other cases are pending before the court, and it may end up holding that linking to unauthorized content constitutes a communication to a new public, and therefore a direct infringement. This presentation will examine the status of the linking activities in those fields, particularly in view of the new General Data Protection Regulation and of the ongoing reform of EU copyright law. It will also consider the interplay of those legal frameworks and case law with the intermediary liability provisions in the E-Commerce Directive.
