The Digital Millennium Contract is a US law passed in 1998 in an attempt to modernize copyright law to deal with the Internet.
The DMCA has a number of provisions, but we’ll be focusing on the ones that have most affected the web we have today. In particular, we’ll be focusing on the “notice and takedown” provisions that provide “safe harbor” for many service providers, as well as the anti-circumvention provisions that criminalize many common actions. Safe Harbor & Takedown Notices The DMCA extends a “safe harbor” to “service providers,” defined as “a provider of online services or network access, or the operator of facilities therefor.” For example, if a user uploads a copyrighted video to YouTube, posts a copyrighted article on Tumblr, places a copyrighted file on Dropbox and shares links publically, or just hosts a copyright-infringing website with a web hosting provider, the provider of the service — YouTube, Tumblr, Dropbox, or the web host — is exempt from liability.
