U.S. Copyright Office Says Digital Millennium Copyright Act Should Be ‘Fine-Tuned’

The issue discussed in a report just released by the Copyright Office is the DMCA’s Section 512, which lays out what social media companies and Online Service Providers (e.g., Spotify, YouTube) must do to remove pirated material and police copyright infringement. The Office says that the balance has shifted too far toward the OSPs, leaving creators whose material has been posted without permission to play “whack-a-mole.” – The Hollywood Reporter
