For example, the DMCA can provide protection for libraries that are online sex-vice providers (OSP) in the instance of copyright violations, if the library/ provider registers an agent and develops policies for notification and termination of the service use should copyright violations be discovered (Hoffman, 2001). To receive the DMCA Limitation of Liability the students would have to demonstrate that they are service providers who have a policy of removing infringing files, and of terminating repeat infringers. Such a misapplication of the DMCA could then be used to regulate the brand of film in your camera, or the tires on your car. |
