Passed in 1998 and implemented in 2000, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) updated U.S. law to meet the requirements of international copyright treaties. The DMCA addresses challenging issues relating to uses of copyrighted material in the digital environment: it limits the liability of online service providers that meet certain conditions, while providing certain procedures for addressing online infringement; it prohibits circumvention of digital technologies that control or limit access to copyrighted works; and it prohibits the removal or modification of certain types of copyright management information contained in protected works. Title II of the DMCA (sometimes also referred to as the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act, or OCILLA) is codified at Section 512, Title 17, of the United States Code.
