In 1998 Congress Passed The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (dmca). ?
July 14th, 2009 at 04:23pm Under copyright act
In 1998 Congress passed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This legislation had an impact on Internet Service Providers. It affected them in the following way:
1. it created a “safe harbor” protecting them from certain copyright infringement claims.
2. it created a “safe harbor” protecting them from prosecution under federal child pornography statutes.
3. it expanded the “fair use” privileges available to Internet Service Providers.
4. it made certain forms of encryption illegal, because they violated the public’s rights under the “fair use” rule.

Does The Digital Millennium Copyright Act Limit Service Provider Liability For Trademark Infringement?
July 13th, 2009 at 10:26am Under copyright act
I know that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act US Code Title 17, Chapter 5, limits an ISP’s liability for copyright infringement based on the actions of users and etc…does this protection also extend to possible trademark infringement? I am briefing a case for my business law class where the plaintiff is suing another company for trademark infringement, and is including the defendants web hosting company for what I guess is contributing to trademark infringement. From what I can tell, it’s not trademark infringement because the mark is descriptive and has attained no secondary meaning. However, I want to be thorough and include why the Web Hosting company could or could not be held liable even in the event of actual infringement.
BTW, this is a fake scenario and not a real case, so I cannot link to the case. I only need to know if the Digital Millennium Copyright Act extends limitation of liability to trademarks as well as copyrights.
Thanks!

What Is The Federal Digital Millennium Copyright Act?
July 9th, 2009 at 10:23pm Under copyright act
im going to be living on campus next year, and i love my limewire,but theres this note on my schools computing page that says that any file-sharing that is prohibited in the Federal Digital Millennium Copyright Act is prohibted. I dont know what that copyright act is, does it mean I wont be able to use limewire when I get to campus, or like if i get caught i’ll be in trouble?
also before you download limewire, they ask if you if your going to be use it do things illegally, and i’m thinking they only reason i use it is to download music and movies, so i guess what im trying to say is, if I’m mainly using lime to download entertainment is it really illegal?, and if it is why are they asking me if i’m going to use it for something illegal when they know their program is for file sharing.
cuz ive always thought of file sharing as like somebody lending me a cd or dvd letting me copy it and give them back the orginal, and they dont charge me, i thoguht it was only bad if they charge u
