What is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that criminalizes the production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services that are intended to circumvent measures that control access to copyrighted works. It also provides a safe harbor for online service providers who comply with certain requirements, protecting them from liability for copyright infringement by their users. The DMCA aims to address copyright issues in the digital age and protect the rights of copyright holders.
