The digital millennium copyright act: an international assault on fair use?

On November 4, 1998 President Clinton signed into law the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (The Act) bringing to a conclusion, at least temporarily, three years of struggle and compromise. The Act includes new rules for downloading, sharing, or simply viewing copyrighted material online. It is an attempt by the US to implement the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty. Some are cheering the passage of The Act and others are lamenting it. For the software and entertainment industries it is a triumph because now they can market their products on-line without fear of piracy. However many, including academics, educators, and researchers, view The Act as a set back, even an assault, on their traditional access to and use of information.
