Jonathan Leger’s latest blog post is titled “”Google’s out of business” Are you?”.

Leger says, “Let’s suppose that tomorrow the governments of the world decide that search engines illegally use other people’s content without consent in an effort to enrich themselves. (Wait, I might be onto something there… Nah!) And let’s suppose that, in response, the governments outlaw all web crawling, effectively killing the search engine as a business model. Google would shut down pretty quick were that to happen. Would you be out of business, too?

Before you answer that question, think about the businesses that would not go under. One big one came to my mind immediately when I thought about it: Amazon.com”.
