Related FAQs

What are the DMCA Safe Harbor Provisions?

In 1998, Congress passed the On-Line Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act (OCILLA) in an effort to protect service providers on the Internet from liability for the activities of its users. Codified as section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), this new law exempts on-line service providers that meet the criteria set forth in the safe harbor provisions from claims of copyright infringement made against them that result from the conduct of their customers. These safe harbor provisions are designed to shelter service providers from the infringing activities of their customers. If a service provider qualifies for the safe harbor exemption, only the individual infringing customer are liable for monetary damages; the service provider's network through which they engaged in the alleged activities is not liable.

Does the recipient of a take-down notice need to notify the sender what action it takes regarding the notice?

No. Nothing in the DMCA requires the reciever of a take-down notice to notify the sender of the action it takes regarding the notice. The DMCA only requires a service provider to notify the subscriber that the material has been removed or access to the material has been disabled. [17 U.S.C. 512(g)(2)(A)]

Are legal documents copyrightable?

Legal documents such as briefs, contracts, and even cease-and-desist letters written by private attorneys (but not by government lawyers) may be protected by copyright like any other material "fixed in a tangible medium of expression." However, greater fair use defenses may be available to those who copy legal documents. For example, it may be uniquely necessary to use the precise language of the document; the document may have little "creative" input; and its copying may not impact the market for legal services.

What is a copyright notice?

A copyright notice is placed on copies of a work by the owner in order to inform the public that the owner - an individual or business - holds copyright in the work. The public is then "on notice" that the work is copyrighted and unauthorized copying may infringe the copyright owner's rights.

Generally, a proper copyright notice must contain: 1. The symbol ©, the word “Copyright”, or the abbreviation “Copr.” 2. The year of first publication of the work. 3. The name of the copyright owner, a recognizable abbreviation of the copyright owner's name, or a generally known alternative designation of the owner.

The notice must also be placed on copies of a work so that they give reasonable notice of the claim of copyright.

The legal effect of proper copyright notice is to prevent a defendant in a copyright infringement suit to raise a defense based on innocent infringement. Simply, it prevents a defendant from saying "I had no idea that this work was copyrighted and I should not have to pay damages for willful infringement."

The specific notice provisions are set forth in 17 U.S.C. § 401-406.

Does copyright protect facts?

No. Copyright protects only original expression, not discovered facts. Creative selection and arrangement of facts is protected, but you can take the basic facts and rearrange them without infringing copyright. Thus the publishers of a telephone book cannot sue an online phone book publisher for copyright infringement, even if it took the first publishers considerable effort to collect the listings.

What are the criteria a service provider must satisfy in order to qualify for safe harbor protection under Subsection 512(a) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act?

Subsection 512(a) provides a safe harbor for service providers in regard to communications that do not reside on the service provider

What are statutory damages?

A copyright owner can only sue for infringement on a work whose copyright was registered with the Copyright Office, and can get statutory damages and attorney's fees only if the copyright registration was filed before infringement or within three months of first publication. (17 U.S.C. 411 and 412) (17 U.S.C. 411 and 412)

A copyright owner may avoid proving actual damage by electing a statutory damage recovery of up to $30,000 or, where the court determines that the infringement occurred willfully, up to $150,000. The actual amount will be based upon what the court in its discretion considers just. (17 U.S.C. 504). (17 U.S.C. 504)

What is misappropriation of copyrighted material?

One has misappropriated copyrighted material if he or she has acquired, disclosed, or used the material without the permission/license from the holder of the copyrighted material, where such activities were done through improper means or in breach of an obligation of confidentiality or non-use.

How do I file a DMCA counter-notice?

If you believe your material was removed because of mistake or misidentification, you can file a "counter notification" asking the service provider to put it back up. Chilling Effects offers a form to build your own counter-notice.

Does an ISP have to respond to the complainant to tell them when the material has been removed?

[not yet answered]

What are monetary damages?

Monetary damages are a category of "Special damages." They are awards which compensate plaintiffs for monetary losses. These may be actual losses (real lost sales) or reasonably predictable losses.

What is "willful infringement"?

Willful infringement occurs when the infringer knows that the material they are copying is protected by copyright.

In many cases, the penalties for copyright infringement are greater if the infringement is willful.

Am I free to copy the content from someone else's website verbatim?

No. While you are free to report the facts and ideas embodied in another person's article or web page, you shouldn't copy the entire page unless you can assert a fair use defense. Copyright does not protect facts or ideas, but it can protect the particular way someone has expressed them.

What happens if an individual is found to repeatedly infringe?

The safe harbor provisions require the service provider to include in its copyright infringement policies a termination policy that results in individuals who repeatedly infringe copyrighted material being removed from the service provider networks. [512(i)(1)(A)] This termination policy must be made public in the terms of use that the service provider includes in its contracts or on its web site.
