DMCA Safe Harbors

DMCA Safe Harbors are protections under U.S. law that shield online platforms from liability for copyright infringement committed by their users, provided they follow specific rules. These rules include promptly removing infringing content when notified and not actively encouraging infringing activities. Essentially, they allow platforms to host user-generated content without being automatically responsible for every infringement, as long as they act responsibly when made aware of violations. This promotes online innovation and sharing while balancing the rights of copyright owners.
