COMPLYING WITH THE DIGITAL
MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT OF 1998
The Digital
Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA") was signed into law on
October 28, 1998. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act amended the United
States Copyright Act to provide potential limitations of liability on
Internet "service providers" for copyright infringing materials that
may be accessed from or through their systems via the Internet.
The DMCA contains a tangled web of requirements and
prerequisites that must be complied with by Internet service providers
in order to receive the liability limitations and other protections
that are made available by the DMCA. All Internet service providers
should take steps to assure that they are in compliance with the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act.
Compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
requires several steps to be taken by service providers, including:
1. Filing the appropriate designations, 2. Establishing
appropriate user policies, 3. posting appropriate notices on the service
provider's web site, and 4. following the rather complicated set of
procedures laid out in the DMCA when the service provide receives notice
or knowledge that information available through its service may infringe
on the copyright of a third party.
