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.
