What is the DMCA?
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a U.S. law enacted in 1998 to safeguard copyright holders’ rights, particularly in the digital space. It establishes guidelines for removing unauthorized copyrighted material from the internet, outlines legal protections for content owners, and includes provisions for websites, social media platforms, and other digital services. The DMCA has become a global standard for handling copyright issues, even for platforms not directly based in the U.S.
