1. Introduction
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that was enacted on October 28, 1998. The DMCA implements two 1996 treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and provides a framework for copyright protection in the digital environment. This law is designed to address the challenges posed by the internet and digital media, particularly regarding the unauthorized use and distribution of copyrighted materials. The DMCA establishes a 'safe harbor' provision that protects online service providers from liability for copyright infringement committed by their users, provided that the service providers comply with certain requirements. This document outlines the DMCA policy for The Service, detailing the procedures for reporting copyright infringement and the rights and responsibilities of both copyright holders and users.
