DMCA Policy

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a 1998 U.S. copyright law implemented by two 1996 World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) treaties. The Act criminalizes the production and distribution of technology, devices, or services designed to circumvent access control measures (commonly known as digital rights management, or DRM) for copyrighted works. The Act also criminalizes circumvention of access controls, regardless of whether it actually constitutes copyright infringement. Furthermore, the DMCA increases penalties for copyright infringement on the internet. The DMCA was passed unanimously by the U.S. Senate on October 12, 1998, and signed into law by President Bill Clinton on October 28. The Act amended Title 17 of the United States Code to expand copyright protection while limiting the liability of online service providers for copyright infringement by their users.

The DMCA's primary innovation in the copyright field is its exemption from direct and indirect liability for internet service providers and other intermediaries. This exemption was adopted by the European Union in the 2000 E-Commerce Directive. The 2001 Information Society Directive implemented the 1996 WIPO Copyright Treaty in the EU.
