Website DMCA Registration Form

When To Use

For use in compliance with the "Safe Harbor" provided by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

If your site allows visitors to post digital files or comments (e.g. in an online blog, as well as in a forum or chat room), you could be held liable for copyright infringement if any of their postings infringe the rights of another person, even if you are unaware of the infringement. Under general copyright principles, you would be strictly liable for their copyright infringement, even if you are "innocent".

The DMCA, enacted in 1998, provides a "safe harbor" so that "online service providers" may avoid strict liability for copyright infringement if they post a specific notice on their site (Terms of Use) and file the DMCA Registration Form with the US Copyright Office.

This DMCA Registration Form is coordinated with our Terms of Use regarding the specific DMCA notice requirement.
