The Digital Millenium Copyright Act: Highlights of New Copyright Provision Establishing Limitation of Liability for Online Service Providers

One of the principal provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) is a limitation on the potential money damages that Online Service Providers (“OSPs”), including libraries and educational institutions, could face when they function like a common carrier, allowing online users access to copyrighted material placed there by someone else. Rather than confront huge financial claims if the third party material infringes someone’s copyright, OSPs can escape liability provided they comply with these new rules.
