Maybe.
But not to worry about that until legisation is in place (unless you want to
get involved in politics). If you want to investigate the issue I recommend
that you start by looking into
 http://www.wipo.org/
and consult a lawyer in your country.

See the HTTP/1.1 specification, currently there are no way for clients to
notify your user (and you do not want to, even if you may want to tell them
when you are giving them stale information)
