Overview: This publication provides an introductory survey of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA") and recent case-law developments affecting the application of copyright to the Internet. The copyright law aims to benefit society by fostering the creation and dissemination of works of authorship. It achieves this goal by providing copyright owners with just enough protection so that they have a meaningful incentive to create and commercialize their works. The law's objective is not simply to reward copyright owners but to promote the free use and exchange the ideas expressed in copyrighted works.
