Important for any online platform offering user-submitted materials is compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 (“DMCA”). This federal law provides a method for reducing, if not eliminating, exposure to financial liability for copyright infringement claims based on such user-submitted content. When properly implemented, online platforms can assert DMCA “safe harbor” in response to claims by copyright holders.
Walters Law Group, through its founder, Lawrence G. Walters, provides DMCA Agent services to its clients to help protect against copyright infringement claims and preserve DMCA safe harbor. In addition to serving as DMCA Agent, our firm can draft the necessary Notice and Takedown Policy and Repeat Infringer Policy to allow clients to assert DMCA safe harbor. Further, we can file and maintain a Designation of Agent with the U.S. Copyright Office which is a precondition to claiming DMCA safe harbor from copyright infringement claims.
