Chapter: Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Quote:

Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled. A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled. The subscriber’s name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of federal district court for the juridical district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber’s address is outside of the united states, for any juridical district in which the service provider may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection or an agent of such person.

What I expect to learn:

To define the digital millennium copyright act

Review:                    

I don’t really know how this will eventually be better but one thing I am sure of is that this digital millennium copyright act will be helpful to both users and developers because it protects both parties by enabling copyright before use.

Believe it or not, it is necessary to cite your source. I know only few of us heard about getting in trouble for it but it really is a big deal because one time, I have a classmate that, well, plagiarized his work but he was able to get away with it. It might be an encouraging situation to some but it really is insulting to others who do not plagiarize or at least to some who actually accredit their source because it is their work and they have to be acknowledged if you are planning to use their idea or content.
