Where Technology, Innovation and
Protection Come Together
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) was signed into law in 1998, yet the technological advances that have occurred in the past two decades since have proven the need for a reform bill to address the new digital challenges of today. The United States’ Senate IP Subcommittee held their first of eight hearings this week to discuss potential actions to be taken towards modernizing the DMCA.
On October 22, 2019, the U.S. House of Representatives (H.R.2426) overwhelmingly voted 410-6 to approve a proposed bill that would provide an alternative route for copyright holders to seek payment for infringed works.
