Related FAQs

If something is not authorized, does that mean that it is infringing?

[not yet answered]

What is in the public domain?

The public domain refers to materials that are not protected under copyright law. Prior to 1978, a work could fall into the public domain if it was not registered or if it did not have proper notice. After 1978, there was no registration or notice requirement and thus a work would not automatically fall into the public domain.

A work may also fall into the public domain if its copyright expires. Under the 1909 Copyright Act, a work received protection for a 28 year period (works between 1964-1977 receive automatic renewal), with an option to renew the work for an additional 28 years (because of the Copyright Extension Act, a work created before 1978 can have protection for 95 years after publication). For works created after 1978, the copyright holder lasts for the life of the author + 70 years (the copyright holder's heirs retain the intellectual property rights).

So, you should not assume a work is in the public domain. You should first check with the Copyright Office.

What does a service provider have to do in order to qualify for safe harbor protection?

In addition to informing its customers of its policies, a service provider must follow the proper notice and takedown procedure and also meet several other requirements in order to qualify for exemption under the safe harbor provisions.

In order to facilitate the notification process in cases of infringement, ISPs that allow users to store information on their networks, such as a web hosting service, must designate an agent that will receive the notices from copyright owners that its network contains material which infringes their intellectual property rights. The service provider must then notify the Copyright Office of the agent's name and address and make that information publicly available on its web site. [512(c)(2)]

Finally, the service provider must not have knowledge that the material or activity is infringing or of the fact that the infringing material exists on its network. [512(c)(1)(A)], [512(d)(1)(A)]. If it does discover such material before being contacted by the copyright owners, it is instructed to remove, or disable access to, the material itself. [512(c)(1)(A)(iii)], [512(d)(1)(C)]. The service provider must not gain any financial benefit that is attributable to the infringing material. [512(c)(1)(B)], [512(d)(2)].

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.

Does the first sale doctrine mean I can re-sell computer software?

Many makers of computer software say that their software is licensed, not sold, because the user breaks a "shrinkwrap license" on the box or clicks through an end-user license agreement ("EULA") before using the software. The legal rights of the end user may then be limited by the licensing terms, provided that the end user has been contractually bound to those terms. EULAs may attempt to prohibit modification, reverse engineering, or resale. Courts are still working out the tensions between software licensing and copyright's first sale and fair use rights.

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.

Why does a web host, blogging service provider, or search engine get DMCA takedown notices?

Many copyright claimants are making complaints under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Section 512(c)'s safe-harbor for hosts of "Information Residing on Systems or Networks At Direction of Users" or Section 512(d)'s safe-harbor for providers of "Information Location Tools." These safe harbors give providers immunity from liability for users' possible copyright infringement -- if they "expeditiously" remove material when they get complaints. Whether or not the provider would have been liable for infringement by materials it hosts or links to, it can avoid the possibility of money damages by following the DMCA's takedown procedure when it gets a notice. The person whose information was removed can file a counter-notification if he or she believes the complaint was erroneous.

What may be copyrighted?

In order to be copyrightable, a work must be

1. fixed in a tangible medium of expression; and
2. original.

Copyrights do not protect ideas, procedures, processes, systems, methods of operation, concepts, principles, or discoveries: they only protect physical representations. 17 U.S.C.

Where can I find the text of the U.S. Copyright Act?

The federal Copyright Act may be found at http://www.loc.gov/copyright/title17/.

What defenses are there to copyright infringement?

The primary defense to copyright infringement is "fair use." 17 U.S.C.

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)]

What is a repeat infringer?

Although Section 512(i) of the DMCA states that service providers seeking safe-harbor protection must have "adopted and reasonably implemented ... a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of subscribers and account holders of the service provider?s system or network who are repeat infringers," it does not define "repeat infringers." Treatise author David Nimmer (Nimmer on Copyright) has suggested that one should not be labeled a "repeat infringer" until a court has found, on multiple occasions, that he has infringed. Mere accusations, even repeated, should not turn a subscriber into a repeat infringer who must be terminated.

To qualify for a DMCA Safe Harbor, do ISPs need to respond to notices for takedowns of alleged P2P infringements?

Section 512 provides safe harbor protection for four classes of online service providers. 512(a) covers conduit systems that transmit and route data between users and store copies only as part of that process. 512(b) protects caching systems, which temporarily retain copies for users requesting it from its original source. 512(c) protects storage systems that allow users to store information on their networks, such as a web hosting service or a chat room. Finally, 512(d) covers information location tools such as search engines or directories.

Using typical P2P (peer to peer) file-sharing services, users store files on their computers and send them directly to each other. The users
