Web publishers are responsible for all of the content that goes up on their site. In the early days of the Internet, there were attempts to have service providers or domains responsible for content. Hypothetically, this would have meant that a search engine like Google or a provider like Shaw would have been held responsible for all libelous and pirated content on the Internet. Such responsibility would have resulted in the shutting down of the entire Internet in a barrage of libel and copyright law. In lieu of such legislation, responsibility has shifted from search engines and providers, to individual publishers, news agencies, bloggers, and websites for libel and copyright issues associated with their content.
