2. What the DMCA Is
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a U.S. law that provides a process for copyright owners to report and remove infringing content from websites. It ensures a fair balance between protecting creators’ rights and maintaining access to information.
Under this law, website owners like Plug-Type.com must remove or disable access to materials that are claimed to infringe upon another’s copyright when a proper DMCA notice is received.
