The Digital Millennium Copyright Act and DMCA Takedown Notices
|
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that has changed the way that copyright violations are handled on the Internet. The law implements two World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) treaties to criminalize illegal production and dissemination of copyrighted material. The DMCA Safe Harbor provides online service providers with protection against direct and indirect liability if they meet certain factors under the law.
DMCA Safe HarborThe DMCA Takedown and Safe Harbor both come from the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act (OCILLA) section of the DMCA. The aim of this act is to balance the competing interests of copyright owners against digital users and online service providers. With the proliferation of the Internet, social media platforms, and hosting websites, Internet service providers (ISPs) have increasingly become hosts of material that potentially infringes on another’s copyright. This makes popular websites that host forums, blogs, or encourage user-submissions of content vulnerable to claims of infringement due to a general inability to regularly review user-submitted content.

​DMCA Takedown NoticeOur DMCA lawyers can help you with DMCA Takedown Notices and Counter-Notices. Copyright owners can send “DMCA takedown” notices to online service providers to facilitate quick removal of copyrighted work from online websites. In order to send a proper DMCA takedown notice, copyright owners must follow statutory procedure when sending notice of potentially infringing use. If a website hosts potentially infringing use, OCILLA exempts the online service provider from liability if it complies with the takedown notice in an expeditious manner.
DMCA Counter NoticeIf you are the victim of an unlawful DMCA Notice, you can file a counter-notice, which requires the person who filed against you to file a court case within a certain amount of time or the ISP must restore the allegedly infringing content. Filing a false DMCA Notice can also subject the filer to damages and possible criminal prosecution. Our DMCA lawyers can craft your DMCA Counter-Notice, and we also handle YouTube and Twitter counter-notice appeals.
