	digital millennium copyright act
		The DMCA was the foundation of an effort by Congress to implement United States treaty obligations and to move the nation's copyright law into the digital age.
		The Copyright Office does not believe that this is the case with the proposal to expand the scope of section 109 to include digital transmissions.
		We recommend that Congress enact legislation amending the Copyright Act to preclude any liability arising from the assertion of a copyright owner's reproduction right with respect to temporary buffer copies that are incidental to a licensed digital transmission of a public performance of a sound recording and any underlying musical work.

	Copyright Holders' Views
		Copyright is a protection that covers any works of authorship (including but not limited to scientific and artistic works, provided such works are fixed in a tangible or material form).
		Copyright laws, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, are heavily supported by the software and entertainment industries, as well as other companies that feel threatened by the vast amounts of free information on the Internet.
		The Digital Millennium Copyright Act, enacted in 1998, is the woe of all fair use advocates.

	Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998
		The copyright owner must still demonstrate that the provider has infringed, and the provider may still avail itself of any of the defenses, such as fair use, that are available to copyright defendants generally.
		Section 402 of the DMCA expands the section 112 exemption to include recordings that are made to facilitate the digital transmission of a sound recording where the transmission is made under the DPRA's exemption for digital broadcasts or statutory license.
		Section 404 of the DMCA amends the exemption for nonprofit libraries and archives in section 108 of the Copyright Act to accommodate digital technologies and evolving preservation practices.

		In addition to creating new rules for digital materials, the DMCA mandates several important studies and reports to be conducted by the U.S. Copyright Office and sets the time frames for their completion.
		Five years after passage, the DMCA continues to be a controversial act with far-reaching impact that is supporting the attempts of copyright holders to control access to and downstream use of their content.
		The controversy surrounding the DMCA continues also in attempts to pass legislation that seeks to protect fair use in the digital environment and to extend the control of copyright owners.

	Digital Millennium Copyright Act [NYS-STLC]
		At the time of the Copyright Act of 1976, special care was taken when drafting the statute so that it would be flexible enough to be applied to future innovations, but technology has a way of out pacing even forward thinking, flexible statutes.
		By the mid 1990s the Copyright Act was in need of some significant assistance if it was going to maintain relevance in the digital age, and it was necessary for Congress to step in and fashion the rules necessary to cope with the changing technological landscape.
		This conference was called for the purpose of negotiating new multilateral treaties to protect copyrighted material in the digital environment and to provide stronger international protection to performers and producers of phonograms.

	Joint Study of Section 1201(g) of The Digital Millennium Copyright Act
		Second, the DMCA seeks to encourage legitimate research activities (some involving acts of circumvention of such technological measures) that will advance the state of the art in encryption technology, the foundation on which these measures are based and on which electronic commerce is supported.
		In so doing, it was argued that an environment would be fostered in which copyright owners could trust that their creative contributions would be adequately protected and that any research would be truly directed at studying the flaws and vulnerabilities of encryption technology for the benefit and protection of the copyright owner.
		Technological protection measures for copyrighted works are a subset of technologies to ensure the security, privacy, and authenticity of information and communications on digital networks that frequently are based upon encryption technology.

	The Digital Millennium Copyright Act
		However, a defense to copyright infringement is not a defense to the prohibition established in Chapter 12.
		The DMCA further limits the liability of nonprofit institutions of higher education that act as OSPs for the infringing acts of their faculty and graduate students when performing teaching or research functions.
		A notice from a copyright owner must be in writing and must be signed by such copyright owner or his or her agent and must include certain specified information, including an identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient for the OSP to locate the material or the reference or link to it.

		Since they were enacted in 1998, the "anti-circumvention" provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") have not been used as Congress envisioned.
		Congress meant to stop copyright pirates from defeating DRM restrictions (aka content or copy protections) added to copyrighted works and to ban the "fl box" devices intended for that purpose.
		In practice, the DMCA and DRM have done nothing to stop "Internet piracy." Yet the DMCA has become a serious threat that jeopardizes fair use, impedes competition and innovation, chills free expression and scientific research, and interferes with computer intrusion laws.

	What Colleges and Universities Need to Know about the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
		For a more detailed explanation of the new copyright provisions establishing limitations of liability for online service providers, refer to the Act itself and a comprehensive memorandum (courtesy of the Association of Research Libraries) which are linked from the DMCA page of the Current Issues section of the EDUCAUSE Web site (http://www.educause.edu/issues/issue.asp?issue=dmca).
		While the Act does not explicitly classify higher education institutions as OSPs, EDUCAUSE is advising members to take advantage of the opportunity to limit their liability as online service providers as soon as possible by registering with the Copyright Office an agent to receive notification of claims of copyright infringement.
		One of them is the prohibition on the act of circumvention of access-control technological protection measures; this prohibition does not take effect until two years after the date of enactment.

	The Digital Millennium Copyright Act
		The Digital Millennium Copyright Act, (hereinafter referred to as the DMCA), H.R. 2281 in the House of Representatives, and S. 2037 in the Senate (S. 1121, abandoned with the passage of this legislation), was a hot potato by many interested in copyright law.
		The DMCA safeguards such crucial activities as computer security testing, reverse engineering to achieve interoperability, the protection of personal privacy, parental supervision of minors on the Internet and the preservation of materials by libraries and archives.
		While the DMCA encourages the use of technological measures to combat copyright piracy, its ongoing rulemaking process to insure appropriate protection for fair use will be a strong disincentive to overreaching by content owners, according to Peter Jaszi of the Digital Future Coalition.
