URGENT REMINDER: If you operate, manage, or host a website, mobile app, blog or other digital service that allows users (aka third parties) to post comments or upload media, such as pictures, videos or audio files, then you need to be taking advantage of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Safe Harbor to protect yourself from copyright infringement liability for infringing materials posted on your site by users of your service. Last year, U.S. Copyright Office introduced a new online DMCA Agent Directory and registration process to replace the prior paper-based system and directory for DMCA Designated Agents, which became effective on December 1, 2016.
