Yes, very briefly.

Here's the clever way it worked. When someone lifted a story from Le Devoir, we used to say “according to Le Devoir”. That is where the legal void lies. The practice has just been applied on a massive scale. When news from Le Soleil, Le Devoir, or any other paper appears in Google, they just mention Le Devoir, Le Soleil, or whatever.
