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 is designed to update copyright laws for the digital age. This legislation provides a framework for copyright holders to protect their works from unauthorized use and distribution online. The Service respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This DMCA policy outlines the procedures for reporting copyright infringement and the steps that will be taken in response to such reports.
