Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Read a random definition: dismissed without prejudice

A quick definition of Digital Millennium Copyright Act:

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a law that helps protect people's creative work, like music, movies, and books, from being stolen or used without permission. It also helps protect companies that provide internet services from being held responsible for what their users do online. The DMCA makes it illegal to use special tools to steal or copy someone's work, and it provides some exceptions for things like research and education. The law has some critics who say it can be too strict and limit what people can do with the things they buy, but it's an important tool for protecting people's rights to their own work.

A more thorough explanation:

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a federal law that addresses copyright issues related to new technology and the internet. It includes provisions for digital rights management and safe harbors that protect internet service providers.

For example, the DMCA makes it illegal to circumvent technological measures used to protect copyrighted works, and it also provides safe harbors for online service providers who meet certain requirements. This means that if a service provider follows the rules, they will not be held liable for monetary damages for copyright infringement.

However, the DMCA has been criticized for being too restrictive and limiting consumers' ability to use products they purchase. Despite this, it remains an important law for protecting copyrighted works in the digital age.
