The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a controversial United States United States of America—also referred to as 'the United States', 'the US', 'the USA', 'America' (more loosely), 'the States' (colloquially), and 'Columbia' (poetically)—is a federal republic of 50 states, located primarily in central North America. DMCA Title I has two major portions, one of which includes works covered by several treaties in US copy prevention laws and gave the title its name and the other which is often known as the DMCA anti-circumvention provisions. DMCA Title II creates a safe harbor for online service providers (OSPs, including ISPs) against copyright liability if they promptly block access if they receive a notification from a copyright holder or their agent. http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Digital+Millennium+Copyright+Act   (2350 words)      1201: is the DMCA unconstitutional? DMCA proponents argue that such concerns rely on the fact that currently, a state of total lock-up does not exist, and that the courts have not been confronted with a case where access has been denied or the limited term has been extended. The DMCA therefore must be found unconstitutional and be revised to include a right to access either the underlying work (as distinct from its copyright) or to allow for a fair use of the copyrighted work. The DMCA assumedly was enacted under Title 17, the Copyright Act. http://techlawadvisor.com/dmca   (6289 words)      Sidley Austin Brown & Wood CyberLaw Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 The provision of the DMCA that prohibits distribution of a devices designed to defeat copy protection was the principle rationale for the prohibition on the distribution of software that defeats DVD encryption. The DMCA expressly provides that it does not affect the analysis of whether a RAM copy is a copy for purposes of the copyright law. The purposes of the DMCA was to implement two 1996 WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) treaties and to address a hodge podge of copyright issues that had arisen over the last decade or so. http://www.sidley.com/cyberlaw/features/dmca.asp   (1351 words)      FAQ about Anticircumvention (DMCA) -- Chilling Effects Clearinghouse For example, while the DMCA contains an encryption research exemption, to come under the exception, a researcher must lawfully obtain the work and request the permission from the copyright holder to engage in circumvention in order to be exempted [1201(g)(2)(C)]. While courts in both of these cases have found in favor of the copyright industries, these cases are being appealed and the state of the law is yet to be determined. The DMCA defines a copy control mechanism as a measure which, "in the ordinary course of its operation, prevents, restricts, or otherwise limits the exercise of a right of a copyright owner." [1201(b)(2)(B)]. http://www.chillingeffects.org/anticircumvention/faq.cgi   (5240 words)      321 Studios v. MGM, 307 F. Supp. 2d 1085(N.D. Cal. 2004) Defendants argued that the DMCA overstepped limits in the Copyright Clause on the duration of copyright protection, that the DMCA as applied to their dissemination of DeCSS violated the First Amendment, and that the DMCA violated the First Amendment and Copyright Clause by unduly obstructing "fair use" of copyrighted materials. Defendant also argued that the DMCA violated the First Amendment, contending that it was a content-based restriction that was not narrowly tailored to serve a compelling government interest, that it infringed the fair use rights of third parties, and that it was too vague, and therefore impermissibly chilled free expression. Section 1201(b) of the DMCA was within Congress' Commerce Power to enact, and because it is not irreconcilably inconsistent with any provision of the Intellectual Property Clause, Congress did not exceed its constitutional authority in enacting the law. http://homepages.law.asu.edu/~dkarjala/cyberlaw/321StudiosvMGM(NDCal2-04).htm   (4336 words)      FindLaw for Legal Professionals - Case Law, Federal and State Resources, Forms, and Code Though only Chamberlain's DMCA claim is before us, and though the parties dispute whether or not Skylink developed the Model 39 independent of Chamberlain's copyrighted products, it is nevertheless noteworthy that Chamberlain has not alleged either that Skylink infringed its copyright or that Skylink is liable for contributory copyright infringement. A copyright owner seeking to impose liability on an accused circumventor must demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the circumvention at issue and a use relating to a property right for which the Copyright Act permits the copyright owner to withhold authorization-as well as notice that authorization was withheld. Chamberlain urges us to read the DMCA as if Congress simply created a new protection for copyrighted works without any reference at all either to the protections that copyright owners already possess or to the rights that the Copyright Act grants to the public. http://laws.lp.findlaw.com/fed/041118.html   (10088 words)      Joint Study of Section 1201(g) of The Digital Millennium Copyright Act Second, the DMCA seeks to encourage legitimate research activities (some involving acts of circumvention of such technological measures) that will advance the state of the art in encryption technology, the foundation on which these measures are based and on which electronic commerce is supported. Section 1201(g) of the DMCA implements the second imperative by exempting from the new prohibition certain good faith activities of circumvention when: (a) the person circumventing the protection system lawfully obtained the encrypted copy of the work; (b) circumvention is necessary to conduct the "encryption research;" The objective of Title I of the DMCA was to revise U.S. copyright law to comply with two recent World Intellectual Property Organization treaties and to strengthen copyright protection for motion pictures, sound recordings, computer software and other copyrighted works in electronic formats. http://www.ntia.doc.gov/reports/dmca   (3915 words)      Background Nimmer writes that the DMCA furthers the development of a "pay-per-use" society in which anyone who wants access to a copyrighted work will have to pay a fee regardless of whether they might have a fair use right under the original Copyright Act to access the material. Samuelson suggests that the DMCA was created to respond primarily to the concerns of the copyright industry, particularly the music and film industry, without considering that digital access control to copyrighted works provides many other individuals and organizations with protection to their digitally stored information.   The Senate Report on the DMCA specifically stated that the provisions of the DMCA were not intended to alter fair use in section 107 of the traditional Copyright Act. http://cybercrimes.net/ldf/CLarticles/dmca.html   (8436 words)      [No title] Also unclear under the DMCA anti-circumvention regulations is whether fair use can be raised as a defense to section 1201 claims if the circumventor’s use of a copyrighted work thereafter is fair and noninfringing, and whether if so, it is lawful to make a tool to accomplish a fair use circumvention. If she encrypted the diary, she could arguably use the DMCA to challenge any attempt to bypass an access control she used to protect her diary or letter (unless the circumventor was a law enforcement official able to qualify for the DMCA’s special law enforcement exception) or anyone who made a tool to bypass it. Although the U.S. government cannot claim copyright protection for government-authored works, it is possible that the government could raise a DMCA claim against a toolmaker if the government used the same encryption technique as a copyright owner and the tool that threatened its classified information also was capable of undoing the encrypted copyright material. http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/~pam/papers/fincrypt2.doc   (3690 words)      Lessons from Professor Felten for breaching the anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA. The DMCA, representing “the most comprehensive reform of United States copyright law in a generation” [5], was signed into law in 1998. It is not clear whether the legislators of the DMCA, specifically of the anti-circumvention provisions, carefully thought out its implications. http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~ruchika/dmca/theDMCA.html   (1374 words)      EFF Unintended Consequences: Four Years under the DMCA Section 1201, however, went further than the WIPO treaty required.[2] The details of section 1201, then, were a response not just to U.S. treaty obligations, but also to the concerns of copyright owners that their works would be widely pirated in the networked digital world.[3] Since they were enacted in 1998, the “anti-circumvention&; provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), codified in section 1201 of the Copyright Act, have not been used as Congress envisioned. Because he is not willing to risk civil and criminal penalties under Section 1201, Edelman has been forced to go to federal court to clarify his legal rights before he can undertake his legitimate research. http://www.eff.org/IP/DMCA/20030102_dmca_unintended_consequences.html   (5649 words)      ALA DMCA: The Digital Millenium Copyright Act Five years after passage, the DMCA continues to be a controversial act with far-reaching impact that is supporting the attempts of copyright holders to control access to and downstream use of their content. The DMCA delayed the effective date of the anti-circumvention provision (Section 1201) until October 23, 2000 to allow time for the Librarian of Congress to issue rules that would allow certain users to access certain "classes of works" if they needed to circumvent in order to make "non-infringing use" of the works. Divided in to five "titles," the DMCA is a complex act that addresses a number of issues that are of concern to libraries. http://ala.org/ala/washoff/WOissues/copyrightb/dmca/dmcadigitalmillenium.htm   (982 words)      JOLT: Articles And were Section 1201 construed so as to permit the fair use defense as this article argues it should be, Plaintiffs might not suffer all that much because courts have often extended indirect liability to defendants whose dual-purpose devices contributorily infringed copyrights. As used in Section 1201, “to ‘circumvent a technological measure’ means to descramble a scrambled work, to decrypt an encrypted work, or otherwise to avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, or impair a technological measure, without the authority of the copyright owner. In that sense, Section 1201 affords copyright holders an additional exclusive right;59 namely, the right to prevent circumvention of copyright protection systems put in place to protect their copyrighted works (hereafter referred to as the “Protective Right”). http://www.lawtechjournal.com/articles/2002/04_021027_ginsburg.php   (8100 words)      ALA The DMCA in Section 1201(a)(1) prohibits circumventing a technological measure that controls access to a copyrighted work; violators of the prohibition are subject to civil and criminal penalties. One of the many issues arising out of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA) is the new Rule issued by the Library of Congress to implement Section 1201 governing circumvention of copyright protection systems. 2003/comments/index.html, our assessment is that the section 1201 regulatory scheme, as implemented by the Register of Copyrights and the Librarian of Congress, offers little promise of meaningful relief from the genuinely adverse effects of the statutory prohibition on circumvention of technological measures that effectively control access to copyrighted works. http://archive.ala.org/washoff/dmca.html   (2106 words)      DMCA 1201 Exemption Transcript, April 11 - Censorware Section 1201 provides that the Librarian of Congress, not the Register, thank you, may exempt certain classes of works from the prohibition against circumvention of technological measures that control access to copyrighted works. The exemption that you have given me is an exemption for the DMCA, but it is not an exemption for copyright, trade secret, or violation of the shrink-wrap licensing. The purpose of the rulemaking proceeding is to determine whether or not there are any particular classes of works as to which uses are, or are likely to be, adversely affected in their ability to make non-infringing uses if they are prohibited from circumventing the technological access control measures. http://sethf.com/anticensorware/hearing_dc.php   (17804 words)      DMCA 1201 Exemption Transcript, May 14 - Censorware I've been involved in a number of the DMCA lawsuits, including the 2600 cases in Amicus and the Felten case as one of the attorneys for Ed Felten and his researchers at Princeton and Rice. The purpose of this rulemaking proceeding is to determine whether there are particular classes of works as to which users are or likely to be adversely effected in their ability to make noninfringing uses if they are prohibited from circumventing technological measures that control access.

Unfortunately, section 1201 of the DMCA contains some restrictions against "trafficking in circumvention devices" that are now being used to suppress lawful speech. These include (1) prohibiting circumvention of copyright protection and management systems, (2) limiting liability of ISPs for their users' actions, and (3) establishing new rules for broadcasting music on Internet radio stations. http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DMCA/Gallery   (580 words)      Copyright Timeline The Anti-Circumvention Provision of the DMCA, Section 1201(a)(1), allows exemptions from the prohibition on circumvention of technological protection measures for "persons who are users of a copyrighted work which is in a particular class of works, if such persons are, or are likely to be. This prohibition on unauthorized access takes effect two years after enactment of the DMCA." Over the next two years, the Librarian of Congress conducted a rulemaking proceeding to determine appropriate exceptions to the prohibition. According to Jonathan Band of Morrison and Foerster, LLP, Section 1201 "prohibits gaining unauthorized access to a work by circumventing a technological protection measure put in place by the copyright owner where such protection measure otherwise effectively controls access to a copyrighted work. http://arl.cni.org/info/frn/copy/timeline.html   (5501 words)      DRM Watch: Two Proposed Bills Would Weaken DMCA 1201 At the very least, the bills will result in debate on the House floor during next year's legislative session that should raise awareness of shortcomings in DMCA 1201 and other aspects of the U.S. copyright law that should be fixed.

The question is whether supplying false information counts as "circumvention" of a "technological measure that effectively controls access to a work" protected by copyright.
