Infringement:Copyright infringement occurs when someone violates the copyright owner's exclusive rights, such as reproduction, distribution, or performance of their work.
DMCA:The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a U.S.
copyright law that addresses the unique challenges of copyright protection in the digital age.
It aims to prevent the circumvention of technology used to protect copyrighted works, and provides a framework for online service providers to handle copyright infringement claims.
Consequences of Copyright Violation:Civil Penalties:Individuals found liable for copyright infringement can be ordered to pay actual damages or statutory damages, which can be a minimum of $750 per work infringed.
Criminal Penalties:Willful copyright infringement can lead to criminal charges, including imprisonment and fines of up to $250,000 per offense.
DMCA Takedowns:Copyright owners can use the DMCA to issue "takedown notices" to online service providers, requesting the removal of infringing content.
Service Provider Liability:Online service providers can be shielded from liability for copyright infringement if they comply with the DMCA's safe harbor provisions, which include having a clear takedown procedure and promptly removing infringing content. Examples of DMCA Violations:Circumventing Technology: Illegally bypassing copy protection measures to access copyrighted content. Distributing Infringing Content: Sharing unauthorized copies of software, music, or videos.
Hosting Infringing Content: Allowing users to upload and share copyrighted material on a website or platform without permission. While the DMCA is a U.S. law, its principles are relevant to copyright protection in other countries.
