There are many sample DCMA notice letters out there and if you've noticed that a website has been distributing your copyrighted art, photos, writing or whatever on a website without your consent, you can use this to stop them. The DCMA can also be used for small internet artists and writers, who might have noticed that their work has been ripped off and spread without their consent. There are quite a few websites out there that basically make a living by stealing other people's work and they aren't going to be scared by the nebulous threat of DCMA without a corporation backing it up. You don't have to do anything special as long as it's all original content.ДЄlthough in my experience sending out DCMA copyright infringement notices doesn't often work. January 12, - I also want to point out that simply creating something original is enough for it to be copyrighted. There's just too much scope for abuse and the whole intention of the law seems to cater to it. So someone who steals a single pop song for personal use could end up with thousands of dollars of fines or even jail time and someone who spends years exploiting independent artists and writers could get off with nothing more than a warning. At the moment it's entirely reliant on interpretation and force from corporations. January 12, - That's my problem with DCMA. There are many organizations now opposed to further tightening of the DMCA, but their opposition may mean little since these organizations lack the lobbying power of some of the software, recording and film industry giants. Further acts by other record companies might help end the looming controversy over YouTube's copyright infringements and make it easier for people to share and experiment with film and music files. For example one of the proposed targets of the DMCA is YouTube, where people often share copyrighted material.Д®voking some controversy, one major recording label, Warner, is giving the right to anyone to use their recordings to make short movies or videos. Not everyone supports this revisal of the original DMCA. In 2006, backed by the recording and film industry, a proposed revamping of the DMCA would further tighten restrictions on items like file sharing. However, even this sharing theoretically violated the DMCA and thus Napster was ordered to shut down. Opponents to the shutdown of Napster argued that the DMCA overstepped itself because people were sharing filings, not engaging in seeking profit for their use.
