SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 512 of Title 17 codifies provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (‘‘DMCA’’), enacted in 1998, that created a system for copyright owners and internet service providers to address online infringement. This system includes ‘‘safe harbor’’ limitations on infringement liability for service providers who comply with statutory requirements to facilitate good-faith, expeditious removal of allegedly infringing content. In light of the exponential growth of content distribution over the internet since the DMCA was enacted, the Copyright Office has undertaken a comprehensive study of the DMCA’s notice-andtakedown system. On December 31, 2015, the Office issued an NOI seeking public comment on thirty topics concerning the efficiency and effectiveness of section 512. See 80 FR 81862. At this time, the Copyright Office is providing notice of its intention to seek further input for its study through two two-day public roundtables to be held in New York, New York and Stanford, California. The roundtables will offer an opportunity for interested parties to comment further on the pertinent issues, including topics such as the scope and legal requirements of the DMCA safe harbors; the notice-andtakedown and counter-notification processes, including relevant technological developments; voluntary measures to address online infringement; and the overall effectiveness of section 512. Additional information about the specific topics to be covered at the roundtables is available at https://copyright.gov/policy/ section512/public-roundtable/ particpate-request.html. The roundtable hearing rooms will have a limited number of seats for participants and observers. Those who seek to participate should complete and submit the form available through the Copyright Office’s Web site at https:// copyright.gov/policy/section512/publicroundtable/particpate-request.html so it is received no later than April 4, 2016.
