Abstract
The German Federal Parliament is discussing the approval of the so-called “Lex Google” which will amend the German Copyright Act and provide for a number of improvements to the management of copyrighted content by Internet Service Providers. This paper focuses on the advantages and disadvantages linked to the diffusion of copyrighted content over the Internet and suggests that the Lex Google would benefit from taking better into account E-Commerce rules and ECJ case-law on Internet Service Providers.
