DMCA Notice-and-Takedown Provisions
Some legal blogs claim that the notice-and-takedown provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act impinge on free speech by providing an extra-judicial process for removing allegedly infringing content from a website.
I take issue with this view, arguing that the DMCA's "safe harbor" provisions for ISPs reduce unnecessary litigation by giving ISPs a bright line test to avoid any risk of liability.
