DMCA | DMCRA | TEACH Act

Wiley, Rein & Fielding. (Fax of August 2, 2000) Universities and Napster - Essential Steps for Liability Protection Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

From Online Library:
Digital Millennium Copyright Act 1998 (DMCA) and Digital Media Consumer Rights Act 2002 (DMCRA)
Within this site, the DMCA seeks to update the U.S. copyright laws for the digital age in preparation for ratification of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) treaties. Key topics included in the DMCA are the circumvention of copyright protection systems, fair use in a digital environment, and online service provider (OSP) liability (including details on safe harbors, damages...). www.loc.gov/copyright/legislation/dmca.pdf

The DMCRA reaffirms fair use in a networked environment. It resolves concerns regarding hardware and software that permit significant non-infringing uses, and it allows researchers to engage in the scientific research of technological protection measures. www.politechbot.com/docs/boucher.dmca.amend.100302.pdf
